Pope Francis said today (June 13, 2018) that the greatest danger modern youth face is not the array of problems that surround them, but rather the temptation to mediocrity -- preferring to stay immobile rather than making a leap toward the next step -- according to the Crux website.
Many young people today seek life, but end up destroying themselves by pursuing worldly desires, Francis said, noting that some people would say it is better "to turn this impulse off, the impulse to live, because it's dangerous."
Francis added, "The greatest danger for young people is a bad spirit of adaption, which is not meekness or humility, but mediocrity, timidity."
A young person who is mediocre has no future, the pope said, explaining that "they don't grow, they won't be successful" because they are "afraid of everything."
