Why don’t people come to an understanding? Why
can’t they find the truth? Why does everyone want to have it his own way? The
answer is because they don’t start frοm
God. There is this worm, this poison within man: the turn towards himself,
towards egocentricity, towards self-love.
The
more man believes in God, the more he is redeemed from self-love, egocentricity
and egoism. And then, everything is splendid and there is no problem at all.
There
is no problem indeed. There is no problem in attitude or miscommunication and
no problem in relationships, either. But when is there not a problem? When?
When man is redeemed in Christ and is a true person. And when, as a true
person, he does not lose himself among other people, nor does he want to
eliminate, devalue and embitter them.
Archimandrite Symeon Kragiopoulos (†)
