A friend sent me a video on violence in the movements of extremist Islam . Like many, I find it hard to view these images of hell. I'm not inclined to regard this world of absurdity, remembering these words of light Durckheim KG (1): "The man receives the light of sense when he does nothing with his head ... If within darkness of unknowing lost in the nonsense and absurd situations torn or ridicule of his life, he is able to accept the unacceptable, so he can experience another life, and from acceptance of darkness, beyond the sense and nonsense, light shines out. "
It is true that this absurd world is there before our eyes, but there are also else you need to know to look: a world of love coexists in the world of violence, although the media often seems ignore.
Yes, it is possible to overcome violence, but it is a hidden struggle that began humbly at first in all of us. Be happy to have this opportunity: to live all our relationships in sweetness, with each of those around us and a very discreet, plain, but effective and contagious.
My bad and my character defects that are not an obstacle, fortunately, because this is my only way to overcome violence. It is through this humble way I have to start. There are probably other reserved for courageous politicians. As for me, not in this sphere, how humble I can find some happiness and to bring me around. I know the violence will continue to exist, as the wheat continues to grow with the tares, and taught us the Master. It is a great place to Mystery.
God is always hidden in the little things within our reach. Simple prayer, incessant, often in pure faith, arid and silent, we can make it active in us and with us. There are certainly more blessed to see him do so, as defeat the enemy with a powerful army in the clash of arms.
"Come unto me, for I am meek and humble of heart," says the Master. However, non-violence requires a lot of violence against oneself, as noted Gandhi.
