Every step toward the elimination of profit is progress on the way toward social disintegration.
When you are thrown onto the stage at 17 in such an enormous way, it becomes living on the edge because every step you take, every word you speak, every action you do becomes headline news. And it became, for me, life or death.
Sometimes, when you want to laugh, reality steps in.
Until we start thinking in terms of revolution instead of compromise the Church will continue to pat itself on the back with token steps of renewal.
I recently learned that in an average lifetime a person walks about sixty-five thousand miles. That's two and a half times around the world. I wonder where your steps will take you. I wonder how you'll use the rest of the miles you're given.
