Are we content to live in a world where "the law of the strongest" dominates? Where, to be successful, do you have to crush or subdue others? Where do we look at others with distrust and, for fear of losing what we have, we raise physical or invisible barriers? Do we resign ourselves to letting the days pass without hope, without finding meaning in what we experience? And again: is this really living fully?
In a complex and uncertain world, we have the opportunity to be bearers of a new way of conceiving life. But to do this, you first need to experience it. As?
We were born, without having asked for it, with abilities that were given to us: there are those who have ease in communicating, those who possess an artistic and creative sensitivity; We all have some intelligence, and life may have offered us unique opportunities to develop. The question is: what do we do with all this? We have two options: use these abilities only for our personal benefit, enjoying what they offer us, or put them at the service of others and share them.
Perhaps the second option will not guarantee us an immediate economic gain - which today seems to be the main driving force of the world -, but it will undoubtedly allow us to contribute to building a different reality: a world in which competition is not an end in itself, but a means to improve and grow together.
This is not an imposed reality, but a process that begins in daily relationships and in the choices that everyone makes when they decide to act. People who live like this demonstrate, with facts, that change is possible. Wherever they act, they make a new paradigm visible and show that this change is near.
With humility we share what we are and what we have; we accompany and offer affection to those who need our warmth and closeness, alleviating suffering when necessary; let's live together those values that can be the engine of change for a society founded on justice, respect, peace and the dignity of all people; a society in which forgiveness, reconciliation and the good of all are sought.
Together we will have more strength and greater credibility, especially if we persevere in our choices. That our actions do not seek recognition nor are based on calculation or interest. The transformation is slow, sometimes imperceptible, but if we are constant, the change will happen, grow and consolidate. The future begins to make itself present.
