What are you driving at? Think about it. Go a little deeper now... Aristotle says - first pages of his Ethics - that we are driven by 'happiness'. So what makes you happy?
What is the 'happy' you are striving to build? Is it a big, big house with a big yard and a strong fence...? Well, if it is, what's outside that fence? Have you really built anything other than your own, little hiding place in this dark world? And are you sure the darkness is on the outside of that fence? Jesus said, 'Do not store up for yourself treasure on earth, that moth and dust destroy, and thieves break in and steal.' (Mt 6:19) Jesus also said, 'What does it benefit a man, to gain the whole world, and yet forfeit his soul?' (Mark 8:36)
