Jesus uses the term “builds on rock or sand”, to see that if we put it as the foundation of our life, we will grow integrally and achieve perfection or holiness.
But if we build on the sand of ours inconsistency, evil, selfishness and idolatry, we will go to total ruin. And also as a corollary we could apply the term to anything that is a socio-psychological aspect of our existence. For example, to our professional preparation. In the study of any career, in training of any order, in any branch of life, from a good cook to an engineer POTIt all depends on how you prepare, on the love you have for your profession.
If there is no care and commitment, building on sand, you will be a bad doctor, a terrible athlete or an engineer, a teacher or a judge who does not contribute anything positive to the world. Mediocrity is a plague that, when it is present in a culture and becomes a collective habit, manages to create an environment of decadence, “bad endings” in everything: in furniture, electrical repairs, science teacher’s classes, bad operations in hospitals, painful homilies of priests. in mediocritylack of demand for good service, getting used to poor attention, keeping the quality level at 50 percent or less, makes our culture and nation “third world” even above the economic factor. .
And we get used to low quality in everything, to never looking for excellence. And if we add to that a little habit of saving, spending more than what we earn, living from party to party, not reading, living in a noisy environment where there is never silence and talking about total nonsense, senseless, irresponsibility and superficiality They will rule, and our culture will be mediocre in all aspects.
The Lord wants us to build our house on the rock that is him, in order to achieve salvation. But he also wants us to build our social house, our nation, on the rock of excellence, dedication, quality, good work, effort, seeking the best for everyone. Seeking improvement in all areas improves the quality of life in our society. AND
When society strives to I will surpass myself and set the standard of excellence in everything, from cooking well, for example, a woman in her house, maintaining order and cleanliness with the help of everyone, to passing impartial and objective justice judge in courtthe people will believe in themselves more and will be better in everything.
