There is a sense of insignificance which is trying and discouraging and leads to envy of the rich and great. It leads also to a certain selfishness even amid poverty and absolute want. The absence of the ideal of the self as potentially great and capable of great deeds keeps it small and self-centred….The greatness of the Church, coupled with a true sense of the dignity of the individual human soul, if looked at as a Christian should look at it, is the true antidote.
