WE ARE AN "I" CONSUMED NATION Our Lord created man to bring honor and glory to His name. But, left alone, men (and the human race in general) are prone to being selfish, self-centered people who have the tendency to do perpetually silly, unproductive things. Their minds can so easily veer towards being consumed with what is right for them: what they want for themselves, what makes them feel contented, what they should be entitled to, or what they think they deserve. And our culture often promotes and encourages such unhealthy mindsets. However, in the midst of such a way of life, it is upon these selfsame men that God has rested the heavy mantle of leading our families, providing for them, and protecting them. In our seemingly "I" consumed nation, choosing to live selfishly is a natural choice for many people.
