The very unfortunate result of this preoccupation with order, control, safety, pleasure, and certitude is that a high percentage of people never get to the contents of their own lives! Human life is about more than building boundaries, protecting identities, creating tribes, and teaching impulse control. As Jesus said, “Do not worry about what you will eat or what you will wear.” He then asks, “Is life not so much more than food? Is life not so much more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25). “What will it profit you if you gain the whole world and lose your very soul?” (Matthew 16:26).
