Enslavement to the opinions of others is the source of a great deal of duplicity in modern society. How often we discover our action to be prompted, not by the divine Center [God], but by what others may say or think.
Richard J. Foster--Freedom of Simplicity
I think if we are honest with ourselves we will begin to question our motives...why do we raise our hands in worship, why do we have to have the last word in a discussion, why do we have the profession we do? I think the doom of our time is that we lived shallow lives because we wanted to look good in the eyes of others!
