Spreading Darkness

Is there a spreading darkness, an aggressive need not to know? Or, is it simply a changing of the rules and the words, as the future takes hold? The things I think are important, and that I share with my ilk, are no longer needed by an up and coming folk. They work from different knowledge, gained from their own lives, and rules and words are changed by the sheer bulk of their numbers. Their truths now outweigh mine. Necessary for me to remain relevant, is not to fight over knowledge but to find what is universal and true.
