The sentiment echoes the tumultuous era in which he lived – the 1960s and 1970s, marked by widespread protests against the Vietnam War. As someone deeply immersed in the Catholic Worker movement, Berrigan was no stranger to challenging societal norms and questioning the status quo.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\n\nBerrigan's rejection of \"success\" as a guiding principle reveals a profound critique of Western culture's fixation on achievement and individualism. By labeling success as a \"weasel word,\" he highlights how this pursuit can lead individuals down a path of self-justification, moral compromise, and ultimately, personal emptiness.\n\n**How to Use This**\n\nIn today's fast-paced professional landscape, where success is often measured by external markers like wealth or status, Berrigan's warning offers a timely reminder: true fulfillment lies not in achieving external validation but in cultivating inner purpose and integrity. By letting go of the need for external recognition, individuals can focus on aligning their actions with their deepest values, even if this means challenging societal norms and embracing uncertainty.",{"id":71,"quote_text":72,"author_id":5,"source_id":35,"has_image":22,"author":73,"source":74,"quote_tag":75,"commentary":9},2956008,"You can’t bank on the outcome.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":77,"quote_text":78,"author_id":5,"source_id":35,"has_image":22,"author":79,"source":80,"quote_tag":81,"commentary":9},2956004,"To grow one has to feel pain, know uneasiness – as you certainly must know from your work as a child psychiatrist.
