Our society has the illusion of change, but it is extremely static in a lot of ways. People travel all around. We change jobs. But nothing much seems to change. On a daily basis, people go home and look at television.
Television goes to great lengths to try to provide interest and a larger picture of life's drama.
We are indulging ourselves in various forms of unlimited dreaming, but the limitations of our lives continue more and more powerful, and time ticks on. The second way in which our limitations can control us is if we don't admit them. This is a combination of vision, prayer, and realism. Nothing beats it. Nothing can come even close to it.
