Interesting Quote

The great malady of the 20th century is implicated in all of our problems individually and socially is the “loss of the soul.” When the soul is neglected, it doesn’t just go away. It appears symptomatically in obsessions, addictions, violence and loss of meaning. Our temptation is to isolate the symptoms and try to eradicate them one by one. But the root problem is that we have lost our wisdom about the soul. Even our interest in it.

Fulfilling work, rewarding relationships, personal power and relief from symptoms - these are all gifts of the soul. They are particularly elusive in our time because functionally we do not believe in the soul, and therefore give it no place in our hierarchy of values. Solitude is the landscape of the soul

We have come the soul only in its complaints, when it stirs, disturbed by neglect and abuse and it causes us to feel its pain.

- Thomas More, The Care of the Soul
