Fish!ing away the worries

Moving from

Negativity to Positivity

+“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
