DROWNING IN EXCESS
We pray for those among us, and in the world around us, who are burdened not by too little but by too much:
Those who have so much power that they have grown indifferent to the rights and claims of others, and are fast becoming what they do not wish to be;
Those who have so much health that they cannot understand the sick or reckon adequately with their own mortality;
Those who have so much wealth that they prize possessions more than people, and worry into the night about losing what they have;
Those who have so much knowledge that they have grown proud and self-sufficient and lost the common touch;
Those who have so much virtue that they cannot see their sins or appreciate thy grace;
Those who have so much leisure that they move like driftwood on the surface of existence, lacking any cause greater than themselves.
–Ernest T Campbell
