What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

The phrase “having it all” is evidently an undefined statement of arbitrary value. Thus interpreted as meaning something different for everyone; rendering it a meaningless phantom for all. A victory undefined is impossible to recognize if ever realized: therefore pointless in striving after.

³⁶ ·It is worthless [What good/profit/benefit is it…?] to ·have [gain] the whole world if they ·lose [forfeit] their souls. ³⁷ ·They could never pay enough [^LOr what could they give…?] ·to buy back [in exchange for] their souls. ³⁸ If people of this ·sinful and evil time [adulterous and sinful generation] are ashamed of me and my ·teaching [words; message], the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he ·comes [returns] with his Father’s glory and with the holy angels [Dan. 7:13–14].”

Mark 8:36-38
Expanded Bible

In general, western society—now more than ever—punishes morality and rewards depravity; villainizes the hero and martyrs the villains; calls light darkness and calls the darkness light.

2 It would be better for him if a millstone [as large as one turned by a donkey] were hung around his neck and he were hurled into the sea, than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble [in sin and lose faith].

Luke 17:2

It is the personal, cosmological, world-view of yours truly that people such as Jeffrey Epstein; Sean “P. Diddy” Combs; Nathan Wade; the “Island Boys,” and Thomas Dexter Jakes, to name a few, are recent examples of individuals who gained the “whole world” and forfeited their “souls“: ultimately becoming slaves to “wicked forces” greater than themselves. (cf., Romans 2:27-29; Proverbs 23:1-5; Matthew 6:23-25; 2 Thessalonians 2:3–10)

23 But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness! (cf., Zechariah 11:17)

24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in).

25 Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing?
