Bono Challenges New Grads to Betray the Age

Speaking at recent commencement services at the University of Pennsylvania, U2 frontman Bono urged the new graduates to make a difference in today's society: "To me, betraying the age means exposing its conceits, it's foibles; it's phony moral certitudes. It means telling the secrets of the age and facing harsher truths. Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will.. . What are the ideas right now worth betraying? What are the lies we tell ourselves now? What are the blind spots of our age? What's worth spending your post-Penn lives trying to do or undo?"
