the american dream = the world’s worst nightmare
The brain is the most highly complex organ in the human body. It is our “control center” in life. But how does the brain distinguish between positive and negative states of mind? How do we define happiness, and how do we pursue it?
I was driving home one day and saw a bumper stick that read “the American Dream has become the world’s worst nightmare.” But why? Life. Liberty. The pursuit of happiness…whatever that means. These are the God-given rights of all people. You just do you…and I’ma do me. I have been consumed by this lifestyle. But the problem is that well-positioned people have always had the advantage. Instead, the American Dream is simply an overinflated expectation. Has it really been this long? I have forgotten that Jesus is more than enough.
Most people will tell you that the key to happiness is to live a meaningful life. In other words, live a life that demands an explanation. Life is a lot shorter than you might realize. We try to recreate God into the type we want, and cheapen Jesus just to make ourselves happy. Do not be fooled my brothers and sisters. Do not make the same mistakes as I have made in my life.
Have a great 4th of July!
