“All too often, as we know from experience, people do not choose life; they do not accept the gospel of life, but let themselves be led by ideologies and ways of thinking that block life, that do not respect life, because they are dictated by selfishness, self-interest, profit, power and pleasure and not by love. ... As a result, the Living God is replaced by fleeting human idols, which offer the intoxication of a flash of freedom, but in the end bring new forms of slavery and death.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayHumansEndsSelfFormInterestPleasureResultsAcceptingOffersSlaveryProfitBlockIdeologySelfishnessIdolsFlashReplacedFleetingSelf InterestWay Of ThinkingIntoxicationChoose LifeRespect Life Author:Pope Francis

“I can't really blame a lot of young sisters and brothers who believe that education has anything to offer them. Because as a matter of fact, it has nothing to offer them.

“I worry more about the marketing that's taken hold since the 70s. The Jazz era, the Swing era, those were huge. Entire decades were named for music. In the 1940s - after World War II - changes in taxation, ballrooms closing, people moving to the suburbs, and the onset of target marketing and the confusion of commerce with art caused some things to happen as a result that have taken us away from jazz and what jazz offers us.” PeopleWorldArtWarHappensMovingResultsWorryTakenHugeOffersJazzMarketingDecadesConfusionErasWar Of The WorldsTargetWorld War IiSwingsWorld War ICommerceTaxationClosingSuburbsBallroom Author:Wynton Marsalis
