Accepting Without Question

“Superficiality is the curse of our age….The desperate need today is not a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but deep people.” (Richard Foster)
If by deep is meant ones who do not blindly accept anything told, but those who search out a matter and as much as possible, find contentment in themselves that something is as it is represented, then count me in.  If deep means weird music and one with eyes half closed then that is not me, and I cannot relate. 
Deep to me is intensely practical.  A matter to attempt to solve may be physical or philosophical.  Either way it is approached in a way the simplest or most profound can arrive at a conclusion that satisfies.  I do not hold to the idea that in matters relating to “life, the universe and everything” a 12th century person misses out because of something only found out in the 21st century.
That is hard to say in an understandable way.  I guess what I am trying to say is that the age in which one lives does not determine arrival at a desirable destination.  Sure, things are easier in many ways these days, but I cannot help but think all our learning has made us mad.  So often now I hear “where is common sense?”
I guess I am a bit of a rebel.  One of the key questions I am asking myself at the moment is, “if all these ideas are so good, why is the world not a better place?”  There seems to be a universal feeling worldwide that thing are out of hand.  One of my favourite illustrations I heard somewhere, but forgotten where, is things are like reading a book at dusk.  I get so absorbed in the book, that it is only when I pause and look up that I realize how dark it has gotten.
I know I am not alone.  Those of like mind may appear superficial to some, but there is another side.  A questioning side.  A side not content to accept without question.  A flawed side with a hopeful side.
