“Addiction might be the best word to explain the lostness that so deeply permeates society. Our addiction make us cling to what the world proclaims as the keys to self-fulfillment: accumulation of wealth and power; attainment of status and admiration; lavish consumption, and sexual gratification without distinguishing between lust and love. In these days of increasing addictions, we have wandered far away from our Father's home.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son
