There is a perverse form of contemporary violence [that is] activism and overwork… to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to violence. The frenzy of our activism neutralizes our work for peace. It destroys our inner capacity for peace. — Thomas Merton
