Life is fragile. We live under the looming threat of real-world collapses. In Afghanistan, what took 20 years and $80 billion for the United States to build collapsed in days. It’s common to reach for things to shield us from the terror of our awareness that everything can end without notice, like a vapor. Jesus says, “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.”
