Notes for13 December 2018

How easy do love and hatred, friendliness and hostility, the goodness and the wickedness, peace and bellicosity feather in man. We even find it "natural" - indeed, it is normal to behave well to "ours" and bad to the "strangers". Here is, for Israel other people are strangers, and war with them is natural. But the prophet Isaiah says that a time will come, when God who chose the Israeli people, will be recognized by other people, and then there won’t be "strangers", because all will become "children" of God, and consequently, brothers and sisters one towards another. Then there will be only one "natural" state as for man, and quite as for humanity - peace. Peace not simply as the absence of war, but as a complete, harmonious structure of the human personality, waking up into positive relations with others, and the same an active and productive creativity of the existence of the entire humanity in whole. It will be first of all necessary to turn away from the arrogance stereotype "fight for the peace", from the construction of the world according to one’s own perceptions, and accept humbly another mode of life and actions - "product of the Spirit of Peace".
