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.
