And yet, how we tend to stifle our inclination, our need to do so, therewith missing the satisfaction and joy\u2014the very nourishment to our souls\u2014that alone derive from such communion, such connection. We do this largely, I think, from fear\u2014fear of rejection. It is easily the most tragic tendency in human affairs and leads not only to emptiness and depression, but to resentment, hostility, and vengeful scapegoating. It lies at the root of the psychology that engenders and exacerbates all conflict and war, whether public or domestic, at every interpersonal level. If the devil inspires anything in us, it is our fear and subsequent disregard of each other, hence of ourselves. There are doubtless practical reasons\u2014limits of attention and energy and time and availability\u2014which preclude our attaching ourselves to or demonstrating our affinity for other than a certain number. But this should never serve\u2014as it mostly does\u2014as a pretext for our not universally caring for and about everyone of whom we become aware or who sooner or later enters our presence.&#8221; \u2013 <strong>Thomas F.
