Spiritual Disease

Interesting thought expressed by Thomas Merton in response to a journalist's request to diagnose the leading spiritual disease of our time, he gave a one-word answer: efficiency. Why? 'From the monastery to the Pentagon, the plant has to run... and there is little time or energy left after that to do anything else...'

There are deep resonations around our community about the pressure to be more efficient, and the lack of time for relationship that leaves. Does that resonate?
