At home in the world

An excerpt from "The Screwtape Letters", by C.S. Lewis... (an older demon is giving a younger demon advice about humans and how to handle them):
"Prosperity knits a man to the World. He feels that he is 'finding his place in it', while really it is finding its place in him. His increasing reputation, his widening circle of aquaintances, his sense of importance, the growing pressure of absorbing and agreeable work, build up in him a sense of being really at home in earth, which is just what we want."
