Ordering of Loves: Learning to Prioritize Desires

The key insight is about revisiting the concept of 'ordering of loves' by Saint Augustine, which emphasizes the lifelong journey of learning to love the right things the most and the least things the less. It highlights the importance of prioritizing desires and investing time in deep thinkers like NT Wright before newer books, to focus on what matters the most and avoid giving equal weight to everything.
