Becoming a Means to an End

The podcast episode explores the concept of living a meaningful life versus a life without meaning. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being intentional and finding a way to become a means to an end that doesn't end with oneself. Greed, or pleonexia, is highlighted as a threat that can rob one's life of meaning. The speaker urges listeners to be on guard against greed and to be rich toward God by doing for others what God has done for them, becoming a means to an end beyond oneself. Finding something that breaks your heart and devoting a portion of your life, resources, or education to it is presented as the key to a meaningful and purposeful life.
