“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.”
― Mother Teresa, A Simple Path: Mother Teresa
“当今西方最大的疾病不是结核病或麻风病;是不想要的,不被爱护的和不被照顾的。我们可以用药物治疗身体疾病,但是唯一可以解决孤独,失望和绝望的方法就是爱。世界上有很多人渴望为一片面包而死,但还有更多人为一点爱而死。西方的贫穷是另一种贫穷-它不仅是孤独的贫穷,也是灵性的贫穷。对爱的渴望,对上帝的渴望
