Wisdom lost? | |
If there’s one succinct way to sum up the chaos and corruption we see every day in America it would be that we have lost our skill at living. Not coincidentally, that’s the exact definition of the Hebrew word chakmah, which is translated as “wisdom” in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, the Greek term for wisdom is sophia, which means to understand a concept, to comprehend, to analyze and think about something. But to the ancient Hebrews, wisdom meant to pursue a life smartly lived. And boy, have we lost that ability today. The lack of wisdom is everywhere and has become our new and most alarming national deficit. For example, our oftentimes high-IQ but ignorant politicians somehow can’t grasp that if a person is repeatedly arrested for assaulting people but constantly let go, their thinking is not, “What a kind and merciful society I live in, I will now do better,” but rather, “I can assault anyone with impunity. They are afraid of me.” Further, bureaucrats sure didn’t seem to understand the effect distributing large sums of free cash would have on our already-lazy society. A June 2021 analysis by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity found that a family of four with two parents out of work earned around $72,000 in unemployment benefits and government handouts during COVID. With that being more than the national median household income, those in charge effectively popularized the ethos that work isn’t a virtue, and the government is here to help you avoid it. Not surprisingly, because of screw-ups like that, America’s GDP is declining because less people are working and more are sitting on the sidelines, mooching. One example that hits close to home for me is a patient of my brother’s who told him she was moving from our state to California for the sole reason that she can get more free money there and elude work altogether. Our work rate for those in their prime working years, 25 to 54, has been declining since the turn of the century. The economic fallout is obvious — slow growth, less expansion, with economist Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute describing America’s nonworking men now not “doing” civil society, and instead staying home watching screens, which he rightly describes as “fundamentally degrading.” “Right is right even when everyone is against it; wrong is wrong even when everyone is for it”.
