Living Generously Reflection from Matthew Kelly:
Our World Needs Changing
Everyone knows the world is in need of profound change. We just cannot seem to
agree on the best way to go about that.
What is most likely to usher in a new era? Politics, education, law, economics, technology or something else?
It depends largely on what we are trying to accomplish. All these aspects of society should serve human flourishing, but our unbridled quest for more, bigger, faster and better seems to have blinded us to how change either ennobles or debases people.
- Are you flourishing?
- Is your neighbor flourishing?
- Is our nation flourishing?
- Is the human family flourishing?
The next big leap for humanity will come from rediscovering what it means to be authentically human. It is the very best of our humanity that the world desperately needs now—and generosity brings out the best in people.
