LOVE CHANGES ALL
Love changes
Duty without love makes us bitter,
Responsibility without love makes us pitiless,
Justice without love makes us hard
The truth without love makes us critical,
Intelligence without love us makes us cunning,
Love without love makes us hypocritical,
Order without love gives a narrow mind,
Honor without love makes us proud,
Possession without love makes us stingy,
Faith without love makes us fanatic
Life without love is no value.
Love and do what you want, if you shut up, shut up for love,
If you speak, speak for love,
If you correct, correct for love,
If you forgive, forgive for love.
Have in the bottom of the heart the root of love.
From this root, nothing can come out of bad.
(Saint Augustin)
Wonderful message indeed.
The penultimate paragraph of this message about love is the most important, why?
Because it was done by a great thinker and it implies a culture: ‘’Have deep in the heart the root of love.
Cultivate love until it grows roots.’’ Roots which will settle in our hearts in order to produce the fruits of virtue as expressed in each paragraph of this magnificent statement.
Being civilized, is knowing how to recognize the messages of a time closer to ours in order to better apprehend the present. We need to know how to use the dynamism that characterizes us as man and woman and develop it in a contemporary way. They say: “People who forget their past are condemned to relive it.” But, because “excess in anything is a nuisance.” It is necessary to situate ourselves in time otherwise, one will fall into ancestor worship which will imprison our spirit rather than emancipate in view of its complete release. It is often the case that very next culminates in superstition, since we are addressing ghosts who pass themselves off as the geniuses of the race to which we believe to appeal, while the spirit of the ancestors would have already been discharged of all responsibilities as far as we are concerned. And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury the dead; but you, go, and proclaim the Kingdom of God, he also said: ‘ ‘ The Kingdom of Heaven is within us. ”
We must focus on contemporary age and seek to interrogate the living geniuses who bring the message adapted to our time to prevent us from weakening our souls in any form of religion or superstition. But who shows us how to find this pearl that is in each of us and how to make good use of it.
