That said, I say it's not the world we want anyway. Wanting the
world is really little more than a euphemism for
wanting fullness, for wanting wholeness, for wanting satisfaction,
and for wanting completion. Having fullness, having wholeness,
having satisfaction, and having completion is what it is to have it
all.

Actually being full, being whole,
being satisfied, and being complete
is what it is to have it all. But for now, saying
having fullness, having wholeness,
having satisfaction, and having
completion is what it is to have it all is
good enough for
jazz.

Having it all this way doesn't require having the world. In fact
it's famously documented throughout literature how having the world
can actually get in the way of having it all. Notice
the lot of King Midas, and the by now nearly axiomatic "It is
easier for a camel to go through the
eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of
God"
(as Matthew the apostle quotes
Jesus Christ
as saying).
