Displacement........

"One of the great destroyers of societies is untamed passion.  The seven deadly sins all spring from errant passion: pride, lust, envy, anger, avarice, gluttony and sloth.  Any form of society that would be virtuous must quiet these passions.  It must, in short, displace them from the center of social dynamics."
-Michael Novak, This Hemisphere of Liberty
