Happy Monday!
A random encounter with a radio dial brings me today’s word-or-the-week…
MAIN
You know how it works. You jump in the car, flip on the radio, and you’re inserted into whatever’s happening on that particular frequency. I arrived just in time to hear the guy proclaim, “The MAIN POINT in life is to make more and pay less.”
I thought that was just about the saddest statement I’ve ever heard.
I’m in favor of increasing my income. All things being equal, I don’t mind paying less. Those are generally good things. But seriously—do they really constitute the main point of our existence?
Sadly, if you analyzed the central thrust of our recent political campaign, that’s probably not too far from the truth.
I didn’t hear much of radio guy’s rant, but he did get me thinking. Do I have a clear notion about the main point of my life?
I think I do. It’s sort of interesting, at least to me, that the main point of my life doesn’t have much to do with my life.
Have a great week.
