What Does It Really Mean to Prosper?
Keywords
material abundance, modern prosperity, true prosperity
Abstract
We live in a time of extraordinary abundance and resources. As the years slip by we have seen an acceleration of opportunity and possibilities. There is more of everything. What would have been considered extravagant a century or more ago has become routine and common: cars, computers, electricity, clean water, centralized heating and cooling, rapid air travel, educational opportunities, diverse career options, health and longevity, leisure time, and disposable income. We could multiply this list far beyond the imagination of anyone living only a century ago.
Prosperity is how many would label these things. But is that true prosperity?
