Stewardship is the process of taking care of the think that you already have... so that you can keep having it. While the value of this is obvious to good stewards and makes enough sense to the rest of us, in general... we don't do it. If we did, the "check engine" light wouldn't exist.
We explore the psychological difficulties of stewardship vs expediency and the associated pay-offs. It's NOT pretty.
