Poem: “The Greated Evil in the World” by St. Teresa of Calcutta

 Many today are starving for ordinary bread.

But there is another kind of hunger – 

the hunger to be wanted, to be loved, to be recognized.

Nakedness too is not just a want of clothes, 

but also about loss of dignity, purity, and self-respect.

And homelessness is not just want of a house; 

there is the homelessness of being rejected, 

of being unwanted in a throwaway society.

The biggest disease in the world today 

is the feeling of being unwanted and uncared for.

The greatest evil in the world is lack of love, 

the terrible indifference towards one’s neighbor.
