The words of Christ are clear: " Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." This is not merely a helpful suggestion, it is the fundamental law of human existence. It forms part of the first and greatest commandment, and flows from the obligation to love God with all our heart and soul and strength. This double commandment, giving us two apects of the same love, obliges us to another asceticism, which is not the answer of Eros, but Agape."- Thomas Merton
