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