Where can you find meaning in a chaotic world that seems increasingly senseless. Religion, owning stuff, and social media don't make us feel better. They often make us feel worse.
Does the push for religion in public buildings and schools really reflect a society that lacks standards and hope? Is it a political power play?
The constant barrage of messages designed to remind us of what we lack, just makes us want more, even if we have a good life.
Perhaps our problem is that we are isolating ourselves - working from home, scrolling on our phones, living around people who believe exactly what we do.
Meet more people. Put down the phone. Do a hobby with people you don't know. Put away the credit card.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
