Yes. Maybe the land of opportunity -- but at what cost, and is opportunity actually the correct measuring stick? And, more importantly, is that opportunity that we built over a few hundred years on the decline -- like about every other civilization on the earth that has preceded us?
After all, we can put a man on the moon, split the atom, and find the Higgs Boson, but where have the advances come for the bulk of our American citizens in their happiness and interactions with one another? Hardly any. In fact, it seems to be in reverse. My grandkids, with all this abundance and opportunity, will likely not reach the pinnacle of achievement like most (not all) generations coming before them.
Our country, with all its abundance and so-called opportunity, ranks 15th in overall happiness for all countries. The top 10 have some opportunity, but nowhere close to ours -- and yet they are happier.
My view is we should see advancements in our society/culture as we've seen in other fields. We have squandered our inheritance.
Anyway, true bliss and happiness is in the Lord God above and eternal life with Him. That I know. But while I'm here, I'm not too sure.
