So much of our unhappiness comes from comparing our lives, our friendships, our loves, our commitments, our duties, our bodies and our sexuality to some idealized and non-Christian vision of things which falsely assures us that there is a heaven on earth.
When that happens, and it does, our tensions begin to drive us mad, in this case to a cancerous restlessness.—Ronald Rolheiser, Forgotten among the Lilies: Learning to Love beyond the Fears, 16
