I like this, though I would submit that there are lots of different activities that can bring meaning to our lives. Chief among these is leaving this world a better place than it was when we found it.
When my wife and I used to take our kids and their little friends to the beach, we made a big deal out of cleaning up all our trash, and then–drum roll please–one piece of someone else’s. We called it the “ceremonial piece of litter.” “Time to go home,” I’d say. “Who wants to be the hero of the day and pick up one extra piece of trash?”
Hands shot up. I do!
Do any of these kids remember this as adults?
Does it matter?
China owns less than 1% of the 3.6% of U.S. farmland that is owned by foreign governments and investors.
Some would say:
Stealing their miniscule position is imperative.
Forget about World War 3, the Epstein files, and Trump’s criminal psychosis.
Let’s get on this, before their holdings grow to 0.04%.
Is It Right to Take Back the <0.036% of All U.S. Farmland Owned By China?
I know there are people hoping to see human civilization destroy itself, to welcome in the apocalypse as forecast in the book of Revelation. In fact, one of my co-coaches in the days our kids played soccer had this precise belief.
When I explained that my life’s work was to halt the destruction of human society, he chastised me: “Oh no Craig! The sooner life on Earth comes to an end, the sooner Christ will return to summon us all to Heaven!”
I wasn’t impressed with his thinking.
… All this is coming to a head.
