We live in a time when the pursuit of happiness has become the pursuit of gadgets, trivia, and instant gratification. We have erroneously come to understand our
purpose in existing to be seeking pleasure. The entertainment industry has effectively convinced us that we are here to entertain ourselves. From one fashion to the next,
one sitcom to the next, one Sunday of football to the next. It has implications that reach much farther than our emotions. It has come to affect how we view politics,
world events, history, our own families, and our Creator.
