The Four Things That Give Meaning

I'm currently listening to a podcast from the Dennis Prager show. His guest is putting forth a theory that their are four things that give our lives meaning. They are one's Vocation, one's Family, one's Community, and finally one's Faith. The guest then states that the modern drift towards a "European Model" of government drastically effects these four needs in a negative fashion.

When government is given the power and responsibility to raise children, provide income, dictate community standards, and craft aspirations and opinions about what is worth living for it ends up robbing us of the vitality to enjoy life and put forth our effort.

The argument is very compelling, and sad to say I see the United States beginning to embrace it's seductive and destructive allure.
