The root problem is a wrong response to God's words and ways. We see this in Ezekiel 16. When life is easy, we tend to take God's goodness for granted and focus on the earthly and temporal rather than on the heavenly and eternal. Idleness provides an environment in which pride, self-centeredness, and heartlessness can flourish. I want to be a Christlike influence on those around me.
Society is improved one life at a time.
