Phil Bosmans:
(Gruitrode, 1 July 1922 – Mortsel, 17 January 2012)
Belgian priest and writer.
Envy is that ‘ gnawing feeling’ that not only destroys so much in marriage, but also spoils all joy and every friendship in people’s ordinary daily intercourse.
Just as a flower needs the sun to become a flower, a person needs love to become a human being.
Love is a task for all people to live with each other in peace and friendship.
People, return to the simplest way of life, to the simplest things of life. To contentment, to goodness, to friendship! Learn to live again!
