New Seeds of Contemplation
Thomas Merton
Suppose that human life on this planet were subject to some serious threat. Moreover, suppose that this threat was both caused by human activities, but also preventable by changes in those activities. Add to this that the existing social and political systems had allowed the threat to emerge, and then shown themselves to be incapable of adequately responding to it. Then ask two questions: Would such failure license a criticism of the existing social and political systems? If so, how serious a criticism would this be?
