Which perspective is truer, more ethically sound, more
aligned to reality? That it -- our possessions, our wealth, even our bodies and
minds -- all belongs to us and we can do whatever we want? Or that we are
temporary beneficiaries, and we find meaning in using what God has entrusted to
us to the highest purposes? Which perspective fosters better decisions and
deepens a spiritually grounded sense of community and responsibility? The
wisdom revealed in Scripture and tradition for more than three thousand years
is that those who practice from the perspective of a steward find greater
happiness.
