The following is a collage of thoughts taken from several entries I made this week, with various sites and persons. I posted it as an answer to a question on a site dedicated to African youth, as to how do we adress war, and all of the plights that come from it. http://olomu1.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=65#65 -------------- --------------- -------------------
JUSTICE MUST FIRST COME ALIVE IN EACH HEART AND SPIRIT
As long as tolerance remains an ideal to aim for, then distance and discomfort will prevail between cultures and people. Tolerance is not an ideal but a bare minimum component of a civil society. It allows for the flexibility of wisdom and patience to keep us in co-existance mode, while we go on learning to grow with one another from stranger to family.
Tolerance is the limit that frames civility. Past a certain point of descency, there is no tolerance left and what comes next must be addressed immediatly, before it becomes infectious; that is what's called The Rule of Law.
Therefore, the question becomes "How do we build the environment to cultivate tolerance into mutual care?"
If we want to see caring from stranger to family to happen, each culture must adapt to grow in the justice that produces personal peace and joy, causing all parties to flourish into the movement of a mature people of all people. Such justice is the gift of God into each one's heart and spirt.
The passage of God's gift from our heart to our soul and from our spirit to our body is when and where unity gets to be woven into holiness.
This Covenant of renewal from animal to spiritual becomes the personal and family responsability, first of all, and then, from family to family we learn to go from the spiritual division of our dna and we move into the organic experience of spiritual unity.
Such personal discipline and communal journey is the only way to secure the harmonization of cultures into a mature people of all people.
So the battle ground becomes everything we each think, say and do. The victory evolves around seizing the best possible opportunity available to carry on this journey of redeeming each moment from out of the dead state of spiritual division and into the clarity of live transparency, where love rules from the living inner-justice.
One point of gravity to deploy such movement from local to global and beyond the confusion of religion, is "The Faculty of Living" where all human experience, knowledge, sciences and faculties meet up in the assembling of one another's relativity and proximity into the settlement of life's essence or as it is known to Christianity, eternal life.
From such culture comes the personal peace and joy to feed social justice connecting the populations into the oneness of "The Solemn Beauty of Being Human answering the Ancient Voice of Humanity's Youth in the fluid acdaptation of Common Sense!"
In more simple terms, we must grow from competing to completing upon the road from stranger to family! There is only mutual subjection in love and truth that can do that!
The just shall live by faith! Such is how God becomes the gift, being Himself the source of justice Who sustains the battle of reconciliation, of mercy and of compassion...
...may God shine forth such glory of His presence into our midst, across all of the earth...
