Religious Leader Egotism

More From Erich Fromm

Egotism erects its center in itself; love places it out of itself in the axis of the universal whole. love aims at unity, egotism at solitude. love is the citizen ruler of a flourishing republic, egotism is a despot in a devastated creation. egotism sows for gratitude, love for the ungrateful. love gives, egotism lends; and love does this before the throne of judicial truth, indifferent if for the enjoyment of the following moment, or with the view to a martyr's crown--indifferent whether the reward is in this life or in the next.

Religion is important for humanity, but it should evolve with humanity. the first priority is to establish and develop the principle of pluralism in all religious traditions. if we, the religious leaders, cultivate a sincere pluralistic attitude, then everything will be more simple. it is good that most religious leaders are at least beginning to recognize other traditions, even though they may not approve of them. the next step is to accept that the idea of propagating religion is outdated. it no longer suits the times.

Religious Mean Sunday
May i stress the need for courageous, intelligent, and dedicated leadership... leaders of sound integrity. leaders not in love with publicity, but in love with justice. leaders not in love with money, but in love with humanity. leaders who can subject their particular egos to the greatness of the cause.
