Everything is on a scale. How we
spend our money will be determined by what is most important on that scale. How
we spend out time will be determined by what is most important on that scale. This
is not to say that some things are not important but simply that, because we
have limited time and limited money, some things are not purchased, or time is
not spent.
The difficult part is when your
scale is radically different than others. There seems to be a demand to explain
oneself and how one spends time or money. While on one hand, we don’t owe
anyone an explanation for our use of time and money, at the same time,
responsibilities have demands and this forces us to spend our time and money in
ways that we would probably not prefer.
From a Christian understanding of
reality, our use of time and money needs to be a balance of addressing actual
needs and helping others. If our life is focused simply on satisfying our whims
and seeking to be comfortable, we are living with misaligned priorities.
