Every day, as if everything that is happening already were not enough, there comes a new: a new case of murder and mafia, a new history of political intrigues, a new investigation into rigged contracts or financial scams, a new history of sex and prostitution, a new survey of prominent men who commit their lives rather than to be a constructive example for the younger spend as if they were accountable to no one ...
But there is an alternative! Once there has been a man who has spent his life in service of their country, traveling wherever he be allowed the means of transport to the place where he lived with the motto election "for a kingdom of love," helping the many patients who crowded the streets he crossed and looking for solutions that would allow a dignified integration of work and family life, working always to respect for family values \u200b\u200band service of human dignity. Precisely for this reason he was murdered, silenced because he was considered too cumbersome by those who drew benefit from a lifestyle quite unfair to facilitate their social status. The name of this instance of humanity? For those who have not understood is precisely Jesus And as if this were not enough man, well man was (and is) God, is risen, because a life is not given a gift seemed quite large, wanted to exaggerate and give another life: that those who wanted to avoid the 'and then they knew they could think of having cheated.
Yet, as if this were not enough, it almost seems easier to follow the examples of a life devoid of ideals and projects that do not have love for one of those who gave their lives, regardless of the cost in terms of humiliation , pain, feelings of abandonment, loneliness that this would mean. Paradoxically, it is true, but it is. "So then just say sorry, even the last moment, like the thief on the cross, and everything is repaired. "But that does not notice that the worm slowly let us dig the heart until it is more capable of loving.
tells an old story a knight who, traveling through the prosperous lands of the Empire, he used to squander in dissolute pleasures money earned by shedding the blood of their opponents, surrounded by women incurred to obtain a surrogate for love and friends who ended up being these same moment when the finished wine. The fact is that one day a monaco, which passed through the same path of the knight, the warrior asked if he felt the desire for a more orderly, with most patients authentic and true friendships. Negative response to the Monaco asked him if he had not at least fear of Hell: At this point the gentleman replied that he had a sure remedy ready to avoid hell: the instant immediately preceding his death, the man would have said three simple words that would save, that is, "Lord have mercy, forgive me." All the bold knight went away, mocking the former Monaco and his absurd choice of life, to return to devote himself to his depredations. But one evening than a violent storm struck the path that the rich warrior was running. Now the ground was incredibly slippery and, in fact, the horse man lost his balance and thrown their master, both dropped into a ravine. While they fell the knight said three last words: "Die, damn horse."
Doing good is not just a ploy to ward off Hell and give oneself a good conscience is the only possible way to become good, to live the change that we see in the world in a society unable to interpret our dreams of justice, peace and love.
" Be the change you want to see in the world" Gandhi once said: they are full of wisdom and words that sum up the significance of this history and meaning of a human life. No matter the age, social background, intellectual acuity or physical prowess, has just put in the effort to become better, to transform our lives in the same life that we see in others.
become the change we want to see in the world and the world will really change!
