Dialog – legacy of John Paul II
Being person-institution not only for poor and people in need, but also for wealthy people is complex task. Main issue is to talk in language with which both groups are able to identify themselves with. People representing different values, believes on different levels.
Understanding collective benefits to mankind coming from mutual dialog and understanding was the golden key. In addition to that we could find characteristics, which are typical to people to whom we refer as great leaders, like leading by example, sometimes even foolish and child-like trust in good side of people. What we all can remember he had to pay for When confused people were trying to shoot him. Another great example, forgiveness and understanding. He was showing the path. The ultimate path to world without terrorism, piece and living in world filled with jealousy and inequality.
Nobel and wise man, which put collective mankind well being above his own live and health. Like Knights protecting weak, Robin Hood protecting poor. Like philosophers trying to find this answers for non-answerable questions. All the trouble of people finding their path, finding themselves in this world. He seems found his way, the way which we all should adopt as our own, there is no need to look for other one.
I am hoping, it will be my privilege one day to live in the world he has seen – the better world. The world of respectable noble man, world of sacrifice, but glorificated sacrifice. Where it would be a privilege To give away a piece of you, not like today sign of being naive.
Inequality and no understanding is the main issue of current world. Terrorism, wars, conflicts based purely on what jealousy and blind race for power and money.
I am not very religious person in terms of attending to church. I am living by one rule, do whatever you want as far you are not hurting others. And I am finding that all the rules of church, or in fact any religion in the world is based around very same principles.
They maybe dictating more specific rules, more directly like “do not cheat, or do not kill”, but taking on the account variety of people, their understanding of society and emotional and likewise intelligence, this is sometimes necessary. Enforcement of certain rules for collective mankind well being. And when I am going to the church, I am finding it interesting, how people behave differently in that place. They respect each other’s, just in that place, for that 1h in a week. And that is why I think any religion make us, people, being better. Personally I just like to listen when crowds are singing as one voice, voice flying over the top of the church. Like it is rising to be heard in the clouds. Very spiritual and building experience. Giving “wings”, releasing all the worries of daily-duties, giving a short break from this money/power oriented race.
For a minute they are forgetting they are competitors to each other in that race. Enemies, as every single of them is born in conflict of interest – looking from rather shallow point of view, but unfortunately that is how most of us proved they seeing it.
Inspiration that what religion is, or should be. To stop for moment, open eyes to see bigger picture, to see other person,
Allow your good site to surface. It is in every single one of us, just buried deeply. This inspiration is like rod for the angler, it allows us to pick out the best in us and reveal it.
John Paul II travelling around the world discovered the truth – we are all made from the same materials, we are all the same. No matter what religion, language, and financial status we are equal.
