IF I WAS SOMEONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, the verse of the famous song prompted me to touch on the topic of the human need to be realized in this world. It was just a \u201etrigger\u201c, and the cause is observing the reality on the political scene and among people around me. If you think I am going to \u201ecriticise\u201c others, you are wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tell you right away: I am sorry for man!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\nis so pathetic what is happening to politics today that it is difficult to\nremain sober about an important fact: Some of these people will continue to\nrule the Homeland for years to come. I wonder if this is exactly how it should\nbe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second,\nin my environment, I see the symptoms of human misery whose consequences spill\nover into the structures of society. The same pattern of behaviour is always\ncaused by human stupidity or evil and evil intentions. But the crucial question\nis what is the cause.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every\nman who does some evil or does not do good that he can, sins. That is why we\nare all sinners, but also sufferers. Namely, if we are not what we can be, we\nare in short supply, we lose from the values we can achieve or, on the other\nhand, prevent others from failing to achieve them. We are directed to each\nother. Our value grows with the value of the people who live next to us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\nwill return to the consequences: corruption, greed, the need for power, lying,\ninsulting dissidents, revenge, killing of man. One of the sources of these\nevils is human stupidity, which is not primarily related to the lack of\nrational or emotional intelligence but is related to spiritual \u2013 value. Those\npeople who suffer from a lack of love since childhood, because of which they\ndid not gain the awareness that they are valuable, attack another to defend\nthemselves or to point out their weaknesses, diminishing their own. Or they\n\u201ebuy\u201c the praise and commitment of the \u201esmarter\u201c, \u201emore successful\u201c, again to\nfeel well and worthily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A much bigger problem is when man is evil and\nuses his \u201esharp\u201c mind to stand out as a measure of success, justice and\nknowledge. This is the state when man himself becomes a god. He does not care\nabout the people, he does not even think about God. Others serve this man to\nachieve his goal or to please him. Usually, these people also experienced a\nlack of security, but they are often ideologically turned towards evil,\nnegativity. They live only for this world and from this world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we fight against this evil in society, the environment, and also in ourselves (if we have the humility to reconsider our actions and expectations)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First<\/strong>, only our focus on Love and a focus on the good can help change. The goal is to first become what we are not now: responsible according to the abilities given to us (not to something else, some desires or \u201ehealing\u201c of the complex), to make our words true, to live ethically and according to God’s laws (because who does not respect the law brought by Jesus Christ he is neither a Christian nor man \u2013 it has nothing to do with religious affiliation, especially if a person considers himself to be a believer). There is no change without conversion, and it is preceded by perception \u2013 the mental realization that to be man means to be a being of value. It is necessary to decide to live opposite from all kinds of negativity, existentially and consciously. There is no other \u201erecipe\u201c. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second<\/strong>, our politicians, work colleagues, neighbours, relatives need us changed. We who say we know the Lord cannot say, \u201eAs far as we are concerned, or, worse, to bribe, steal, abort children, swear and curse, be lazy, do not give not even our surplus to those in need, cheat our spouse, favour the powerful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Christians are the \u201emirror\u201c of society, we need to be at the height of moral values and always be like our Saviour: to love man, even if he is our enemy today. With this power of good in ourselves, we can change the world, resist any negative politics and ideology. That is our mission, that is the only way we are someone. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
