“Throughout scripture, we are told that there is no lasting joy in the things of this earth–that they decay, grow boring, and bring ultimate destruction as consumers of our rapt attention. We are reminded that we come into this world with nothing and go out the same way. Yet, we in America have given divine inspiration to the American Dream–the pursuit of happiness through the acquisition of power and wealth.”
Stan Moody, “I’ve Met the Enemy”: Journey of an All-American Sinner. Brewer, ME: North Wind Publishing, 2019, page 81.
