A rubber ball held under water submits. Once released, it springs to the surface; and the deeper it is held the more it strains to rise. The human spirit possesses a natural buoyancy. It can be held down by enslavement to the senses, by acquisitiveness and ambition, by anger and violence, or by what the New Testament calls cares. It can be held down, but its natural tendency remains dynamically oriented toward God. It can never be entirely satisfied until this upward impulse is allowed freedom. To eliminate the divine dimension is to inflict a distortion on ones personality that ultimately results in great harm. -- Michael Casey
