There’s a mood for Christmas
03
Dec
Among true Christians, yes, there will always be
hope for a better world, where everyone can enjoy the common good, true (and impartial) justice and the humblest remembered and invited to this moment of peace and fraternization.
Certainly, in many parts of the world, especially among those suffering from war, scourges or misery and hunger, there will always be less peace and joy among them.
However, this should not be an obstacle to the search for the good, to reflection on the true values that make the civilizing process of humanization ever more advanced and promising, it is not utopia, it is the only possible horizon for those who are true humanists, those who do not look at the different with prejudice and disrespect.
Not limited to any social, cultural or religious group, true humanists create bonds of fraternity and bridges, not insurmountable chasms of agreements and dialogues.
There are more unacceptable things, yes war is unacceptable, there are always two groups willing to fight, there is no difference that should not be respected, yes social inequality is unacceptable, but we can get everyone to think about it and find solutions without demagoguery.
These great things are not just the result of advanced cultural reading, above all we need a feeling of solidarity, a deep look at the Other, who is neither a mirror nor the result of an allegorical or demagogic discourse, we must respect it in all its dignity.
There is a true wisdom that is guided by loving gazes on humanity as a whole and on each man (or woman) in particular, it is accessible to all minds and cultures, and can chart a path of peace and fraternity.
This Christmas is not specific to one date of the year, but it is important to remember it on this date, even religious currents that don’t celebrate it fail to recognize its importance.
There is always hope for peace, lasting joy and social justice for those who love.
