But apart from God, none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts. Most people live in order to love others, friends and family. Others may enjoy fine art, reading, and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves. 'Let's eat and drink, for tomorrow we die' ( 1 Cor. Sadly, many people live for the immediate moments of life: cheap thrills, fast food, and mindless entertainment. Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future. Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good. Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life. And yet to what end?
