What’s Fun Can Ruin Your Life

When someone says all they want to do is have some fun, you are looking at a very shallow person because there is more to life than having fun. In fact, having fun is intially what gets us into most of the trouble we experience in life.

Why do people go to the casino? It’s fun, at least for a while, and then you are broke. Why do people get drunk? It’s fun until you have that huge headache. We justify a lot of things because they’re fun, but we soon find out that we’ve been robbed.

What are we robbed of? We are robbed of a sense of significance and meaning. After making a ton of bad decisions in my life, I’ve found out that the better question is, “Will this get me closer to God?”
