OLD FASHION VALUES

In a rapidly changing world, the importance of old-fashioned values like hard work and simplicity can often be overlooked. Drawing from biblical wisdom and real-life examples, such as a man recognized for excellence in garbage collection, we explore the dignity of honest labor and the simplicity of living within our means. These values challenge the consumerist mindset that traps us in over-spending and status-seeking behavior. By prioritizing character and duty, we can reclaim the nobility of work and foster a more moral society centered on genuine worth and simplicity.
