I am reading the translated work of Jane Kentish, published by Penguin Classics. She translated the classic book by Leo Tolstoy, born 1828, Russian “A Confession and other religious writing”. His openness of mind, intellectual capacity and practical independent character enabled him to discover life issues with unchanging life problems and solutions are all in religion not politics or economic materialism. His writing and discoveries resonance and agree with my life discoveries, sacrifices and repentances about characters, works and life of humanity. I strongly encourage you to get the book and read it. He talks about Law of Love and Violence inevitable in societies. Violent persecutions are plentiful, examples, like the media and business communities their love of their lives, money and pride produce roots of evils of greed and agenda of persecution in their works. Every step in their self-directed lives in the direction of seemingly goodness invokes persecution rather than love. Media communities persecute the highest person in politics, the Prime Minister of UK blame him for everything goes wrong about the UK and the world but the media communities silent about all and uncountable number of the PM achievements. These are all progressive evils of persecutions of the hidden agenda of contemporary media communities we have taken for granted and turn blind eyes to. The corporate decision-makers subtly persecute the employees and customers being bondage to money and live to buy, consume and depend on the goods and services. We are created on earth first and foremost to know and love God and humanity NOT to consume first and foremost without God and the love of God. We live and work by which processes of life the environment and we are persecuted not loved by economic giants and punished by economic, religious and political systems to keep majority of us out of violence and mischief without which are results of being busy working. The sufferings involved in an irrational life lead to an awareness of the necessity of rational life. None of the wretchedness of either humanity or the individual is useless for it always leads humanity, albeit in a roundabout way, to the only activity for which is destined: self-perfection. The main reason for our poor social structure is false belief. So check our beliefs and unbelief of religion, self, politics, monetary and economic theories. We must pay the greatest attention to our public affairs; we should be prepared to self-sacrifice and change our minds, to renounce our old views and adopt new ones. We should cast prejudices aside and argue with a completely open mind. A sailor who raises the same sail regardless pf changes in the direction of the wind will never reach his port (Henry George) We should understand Christ’s teaching, openly and simply, and the horrible deceit in which each and every one of us lives will become clear. “That this social order with its pauperism, famines, prisons, gallows, armies and wars is necessary to society; that still greater disaster and sacrifices would ensue if this organisation were destroyed; all this said only by those who profit by this organisation, while those who suffer from it- and they are ten times as numerous-think and say quite the contrary.” – Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is within You On discovering the bible and reading philosopher Tolstoy, I am convinced that the Prime Minister Brown is counter-productive with his visions and agenda of Progressive governance. His getting on with the job of provisions and protection he omitted to deal with the inner transformation of humanity so that their hearts and soul were in harmony with God and with one another. Tolstoy concluded that there was no morality without religion and humility Christ-like character. God Promises us “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”. (Matt 6: 33) God is sovereign, in control of destinies of the world/nations. He can achieve what His will to achieve and not to achieve. It is only wise and highly productive of all worldly leaders, political, business and religious leaders very quick to listen to God’s plans and visions but slow to go before God’s timing and our knowledge and faith in Gods Righteousness. The bible speaks of a righteousness that comes from God without reference to the law. (Roman 3:21) God credited Abraham’s faith to him as a righteousness he did not have and earn. In the same way, God today credits righteousness to the account of those who believe in Jesus. Economic, political and religious activities without faith and belief in the sacrifices of God will never be found righteous in God’s sights will suffer judgment of God and humanity in weakness and disgrace and works frustrated. This is based on the sacrifice of Jesus who died on the cross to pay for the sins of humankind, not by our good wo
