In today's Gospel Jesus tells a parable about a successful farmer who tears down his barns just to be able to store more of his abundant harvest. He doesn't care about anyone but himself in the parable. It seems that in his rush to store up things for himself he forgot about what really gives us life and meaning in this world.
