Summary

This quote suggests that material possessions and external recognition are fleeting and temporary. Wealth, beauty, and fame may come and go, leaving individuals with a void. However, once these superficial aspects diminish, what truly matters is the desire to contribute and be of value to others. Being useful implies finding purpose and making a positive impact beyond superficial attributes, emphasizing the importance of personal growth and meaningful connections rather than attaching significance solely to material wealth or temporary accolades.

The glory of God is the living man, but the life of man is the vision of God', says St. Irenaeus, getting to the heart of what happens when man meets God on the mountain in the wilderness.
