Great Quote on Piety from Orthodox

http://www.saintsconstantineandelena.org/Liturgy/liturgy3.htm

Piety requires a certain disposition, a temperament that is characterized by quietness, stillness, humility and obedience. It not only informs how we pray, it touches how we dress, how we stand, how we enter, and how we leave the church. Unfortunately our culture does not foster such a disposition. In its drive to protect the rights of the individual we have left behind and forgotten the value of respect between persons, regard for the other. The principle of individual rights has become individualism. Individualism has become disregard for the other and ultimately disrespect for others and disintegration of the self. The very word pious has been turned into an insult. This is one of the most difficult things we have to overcome when we enter the church. We pray in a certain way not for ourselves but for the other. We dress in a certain way not for ourselves but for the other. We enter and leave the church in a certain way not for ourselves but for the other. And by doing so, we do not enter the church as individuals who have come to fill ourselves with our own personal spirituality without regard for the person standing next to us. We become one body in Christ and stand together, united in the Kingdom of God.
