CIVILIZATION & BARBARITY
Now think about it, start this working week by making an effort to think well, because the state of discord and mistrust doesn't help anyone, not even those who think they're right and furiously want to shove a hypocritical and shallow “pacifism” down the world's throat.
Differences and disagreements only happen because we all have a lot in common, because if there were nothing in common, we would be left with apathy and indifference.
Despite the religious, environmental, socioeconomic and psychological differences between people, the most important thing we all have in common is the inner struggle between the forces that promote civilization and those that surrender through inertia to barbarism.
And this fight is savage, mythologically violent, there is no remote possibility of it being peaceful, because one aspect makes us selfish, self-centered beings and lying hypocrites, and the other transforms us into presences radiating ease and benefits to all people, and on the border of this contrast runs the blood of our humanity.
As we serve those who are similar and different, for the simple reason that we realize that our particular existences are interdependent, and as we develop group consciousness, and day by day we strive for it to replace the self-centered consciousness in individuality, and even more so, as we practice every day the sacrament of communion with the living and unique being, the Earth, in which we live and experience being, we thus promote civilization.
Everything else that we practice that is not guided by these aspects, but that, on the contrary, is selfish and brutal in varying intensities, contributes to increasing, day by day, the inertia of barbarism.
