I rather like this reflection ascribed to St. Gregory of Nice by Richard Hooker in his Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity:
"St. Gregory Bishop of Nice complaineth and inveigheth bitterly against them, who in the time of their Penitency lived even as they had done always before; 'Their countenance as cheerful, their attire as neat, their diet as costly, and their sleep as secure as ever, their worldly business purposely followed, to exile pensive thoughts from their minds, repentance pretended, but indeed nothing less expressed'." (Book VI)
People who keep themselves busy, are always in a rush, just so they can avoid the rigour of thinking? Greg obviously ran across a few Hong Kong managers in his time.
