The distortion of the concept of human completeness promotes isolation

“The distortion of the concept of human completeness promotes isolation, exploitation and environmental destruction. Man ceases to be conceived as a relational being, founded on a transcendent reality, and is converted into an autonomous unit that claims its well-being at the expense of others and of the natural world. The loss of the relationship with the Sacred translates into a loss of the bonds that constitute society, leaving behind it a sum of individuals in competition.”
