The Lord Looks on the Heart

Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship...If you worship money and things—if they are where you tap real meaning in life — then you will never have enough. Never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly... Worship power—you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart—you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. And so on.
— David Foster Wallace, Commencement Address at Kenyon College
