“A society which disregards those who are weak and non-productive risks exaggerating the development of reason, organization, aggression and the desire to dominate. It becomes a society without heart, without kindness — a rational and sad society, lacking celebration, divided within itself and given to competition, rivalry and, finally violence.” ~Jean Vanier from Man and Woman, God Made Them Hear more of Jean Vanier in The Wisdom of Tenderness Photo by Craig Allen / Flickr, cc by nc-nd-2.0
