This morning I thought some about an idea that I have never quite been able to express in a concise manner. It is the method at which contemporary society approaches the problems in the world and the moral values that it prioritizes. Today's society holds that global warming, social injustice, geo political conflicts, economics, and governmental philosophies are the most important issues in the world and that everyone must devote all their energies become galvanized to solve these issues.

There is no doubt that solving these issues is important but I believe the solution to these problems is not to change the world but to change the man.

I believe that people would do better to focus on the means rather than the ends. The problem with all these issues is the short sighted decisions that people make that cumulatively add up to these crises. The problem is that people don't have self-control and higher vision. If the hearts of men were changed then these issues would be solved by attrition.

People are putting the ends before the means.

The means is a process of personal self-control of the basic instincts that lead to values and belief systems.

If this were the primary issue to which society devoted all of it's energies then the world's problems would disappear.

Today I felt aimless at times.

In the morning I got to spend some quiet time with my daughter outside.

It was somewhat cool again.

Thanks be to God.
