[RestoreTheRiver]

I believe it is a trend, and one more example of the disease of individualism that is so prevasive in our society. The root of this disease is selfishness, and insecurity. When we push God out, we have less and less connection to God, others, and ourselves. So, we try harder and harder to hang on to less and less...

This is especially tragic because the only way to be truly ourselves is in relationship...to participate in the Life and Love of God, from which, and in which, all human relationships flow. Perhaps this is a part of what Jesus meant when He said that only those who lose their lives will find them.
