6 Let's Be (Positively) Real
Eagerness can tempt us to take shortcuts to
wrong goals. An example is the mythical deity ("jealous god of wrath") who
establishes calm by destroying perpetrators ("the wicked"), a classical quick
fix that does not solve problems. In contrast, patience is a long path to the
right goal. An example is Christian longsuffering that sees the Paul inside
every Saul, offering a solution of construction instead of
destruction--improving, not removing.
We do not expect that every perpetrator
will be immediately transformed. However, the patient offer of redemption
strengthens both the mover and the one moved upon and the situation is
transformed.
In this blog we share this love and
patience. We do not broadcast and dwell upon what is wrong. Our energy
is not consumed condemning greed. We do construct a more successful
world by occupying ourselves generously so that selfishness disappears
by atrophy.
You are now invited to this world where we will endure
together.
