Monday Morning with Merton: Better than Horrible
“…the best reason for loving peace is not that war is horrible. A nation that loves peace because war is degrading, disgusting, unpleasant, brutalizing, filthy, etc. will get in plenty of trouble. No matter how horrible anything is there has to be a better reason, than its horribleness, for our hating it.”
[Sept. 5, 1941. "Run to the Mountain. The Journals of Thomas Merton. Volume I, 1939-1941]
