Keeley argues that while there are many causes competing for attention today, society has a responsibility to equip young people with a strong moral foundation and a sense of purpose. Without that guidance, he warns, we risk leaving them unprepared to navigate life&#8217;s most important challenges. His message is straightforward: identify what is good, stand for it, and have the courage to defend it.  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>TERRENCE KEELEY: Because I&#8217;m a Notre Dame guy, as you know, David, and the Notre Dame are the fighting Irish of Notre Dame. And all of our promotional videos have the same tagline, what would you fight for? This is a Catholic university.  And it turns out that the deep seated beliefs that we have, and I don&#8217;t want to make this about Catholicism, I&#8217;m trying to echo Nick&#8217;s same sentiments. What are the values? What are the outcomes?  What are the issues that we are truly willing to die for? What is more important than life? And it turns out there&#8217;s a lot of things.  And if we cannot, in fact, acquaint our children and our youth with what those ideals might be, we are doing them a disservice. There&#8217;s horrible things going on around the world. Right now, we can talk about the Ukraine, we can talk about Iran.  But fundamentally, individuals need to be able to discern between what is good, and what is evil, and always side with the good and fight for the good.
