In the moments of life when we feel disheartened about the future or disappointed by the people closest to us, something sudden and unexpected can happen, capable of giving meaning to everything and transforming this disenchantment into joy and even new peace inside and outside of us.
Sometimes it is an experience so personal and profound that it gives us the courage to step outside of ourselves and share the reason for our joy with others, as if to encourage everyone to relive it, not only individually but also as a group. Who knows, maybe this might become our mission: to bring the joy that is the fruit of an internal transformation and which, in turn, transforms our environment, renewing it.
However, faced with the initial impulse, that feeling of being able to "conquer the world", reality is difficult to face and commitments become difficult to keep. Where to find the strength not to give up and always be bearers of joy and peace? How can we not let ourselves be defeated when around us it seems that humanity has failed as such?
It can help to have a different look at situations, which means looking for everything positive in the circumstances, without naivety, but going beyond appearances and finding the strength not to be discouraged. We will discover that if we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change. It is about engaging in a daily struggle for the ideal of a renewed world.
We can find strength by gathering together with those people who, like us, are not resigned to the status quo, but who come together to be instruments of change.
In particular in this historical period it is essential to look within ourselves first and foremost, to listen to our conscience, which at any moment will suggest how to act or what words to share, so that by being close to others, sharing their aspirations, it opens up new paths for the renewal of society.
