When The Door Opens To Violence

"When human beings, the summit of creation,
stop contemplating beauty and goodnessand withdraw into our own selfishness,when we think only of ourselvesand our own interestsand place ourselves in the center,when we permit ourselves to be captivatedby the idols of domination and power,when we put ourselves in God's place,then all relationships are brokenand everything is ruined;then the door opensto violence, indifference, and conflict."
~Pope Francis
