Z,
Of course, many things we
do are just practical. We are constantly “giving to Caesar what is Caesar’s”.
We live here now, and we must do some of the work that living here demands. We
grow old enough to finish school and then find a trade or a business or a job
to provide for ourselves and those under our care. We learn to live better with
our bodies, to take the right medicine and to maximize our moments on earth
with joy and happiness as well as with sadness and tragedy. We experience
everything and for us, some of us on this side of the planet, it comes with the
extra heft of history and the less endearing angles of the nation-state
premise. I will not keep boring you with that though.
The other side of that,
hehehe, coin is this: “we give to God what is God’s”. Ourselves. In the real
sense of the word, this is home. We came from the creator and will return
there. We live our life on earth in expectation that there is more than the
practical to look forward to. We expect the sublime, the transcendent, the
powerful and the transformative to shape us and all of the reality to come. The
practical life is merely a ship taking us to the home where we will forever be.
