I was thinking the same thing, MK. That its about detachment. For Christians, the meta reality is Heaven and God, of course. And the communion of saints.
Not getting caught up in an end result of our prayers is hard! But it is necessary.
I think the result is that detachment you talked about. And happiness.
"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
