“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy;
it is
being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for.
We can cure physical diseases
with medicine,
but the only cure for loneliness,
despair, and
hopelessness
is love.
There are many in the world who are dying
for a
piece of bread
but there are many more dying for a little love.
The
poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -
it is not only a
poverty of loneliness
but also of spirituality.
There's a hunger for
love,
as there is a hunger for God.”
- Mother Teresa
(A Simple Path: Mother Teresa)
