We spend, according to statistics, more of our waking time thinking about money than not thinking about money, how to acquire it, how to acquire more of it, how to spend it, how to save it, how to invest it, how to borrow it, counting it, sometimes giving it away, loaning it.
Money and possessions, wealth are so much a part of this world's experience that they actually dominate, define, and determine an inordinate, if not a consuming, portion of our lives.
If you were to be, say 85 yo, statistics say that you would have spent nearly fifty years of your waking time thinking about money!
That's too much.
Sadly, all that thinking about money may not be wise.
We can be so foolish when it comes to money.
Our Lord redirects our attitude toward money in the parable.
