“The rush and pressure
of modern life are a form of violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a
multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit
oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to
succumb to violence. The frenzy neutralizes our work for peace. It destroys our
own inner capacity for peace because it kills the root of inner wisdom which
makes work fruitful.” Thomas Merton
