Stepping into the ring of fire

Before I begin my speech Id like to share with you one of my most intimate secrets.
But promise me you wont tell anybody. Ok ?....Well.Im in love ( Pause ) Yes Im in
love. But not in the way that you would think. No...Im in love with our world ! I can
admit that theres no day without seeing remarkable people from whom I always
have something to learn.
But everybody knows the consequences of love. Well sometimes you suffer. It
burns ,burns ,burns and the flames will get higher. And you know what hurts the
most ? When the others dont know how much you care about them .So how can I
make society or better how can we make society know that we actually care about it
?
To begin with , most of us forget that even though countries have signed treaties of
peace, well they dont constitute permanent peace. The respective nations do not
take them for granted. They are just a truce. In fact we can all agree that every day
we are preparing for another war be it a world one or a civil one. There is no trust
between countries , even tough weve learned how to communicate and how to
evolve and make discoveries together. Every country is trying to get bigger and
better , making weapons in order to.(pause) maintain peace ? No its because we
still hate and dont trust each other. We are still in search of power. Has history
taught us nothing ? Maybe just how to make a better plan to conquer the world , to
set it on fire. And it burns, burns, burns and the flames will get higher.
Theres also another thing. Once the last gun shot is fired, there is still an enormous
amount of work to be done. Another war, thus begins. Everywhere there are
communities that after the war, they lost homes, food, schools, medical centers.
There are hundreds of severe medical cases ( cancer , heart attacks, kidney
failure ). Just imagine the hospital closes down , and there is no other place for
these patients to go ( Pause ).Children ..could they be left unscarred ? ( Pause ).
And it burns , burns , burns, and the flames will get higher.
So how can we step out of this ring of fire ? I think we must dig a little deeper and
find the roots of these problems .Maybe its the governments fault . They just
think about them and want to rule the world ! .hmmm.No.. I know.. lets put the
blame on our teachers. Yesthey could have done a better job at showing us what
is important .. after all I deserve BETTER ! Or do I ? You see after all we like to put
the blame on others ..when if we want to change something we should actually start
with ourselves. We expect the best for ourselves , but do we deserve the best ?
There are plenty of us whom life has offered more than we deserve , but we still
want more. Well to those of us I think its time we offer something back to life. Its
time we made a change in our hearts, in our conscience in order to reach
peacefulness. So how or better when can we do good ? This is usually when we
feel happy.

We were born with an urge to pursue happiness. Our nature is in search of this
mystical , almost impossible thing to achieve. So we must ask ourselves such
questions : Am I happy ? If not how can I be ?
Unfortunately, most of us think that if we buy things or we achieve things we are
going to be happy. But for how long ? These are just temporary things that would
eventually go. They of course serve their purpose but how can we permanently be
happy ? To my mind , its about our inner peace, inseparable from the word
happy. Its about our acceptance of who we are and trying to always improve
ourselves by serving the others. Hence the only way to reach a more stable, secure
peace , this virtue, is by love ! We must put our hearts together. However , this love
is very hard to maintain. We should try our best whether we have the time or not.
Like a teacher who always struggles with his students even tough they may not pay
attention. We must fight every day with our inner selves. A new war yet begins. To
put an end to the other warsto lower the flameswe must lower our flames.
Those who are not at war with themselves , their vices and their sins will eventually
be at war with the entire world and God. Peace without God is the swing of the war.
We must constantly be aware of all these secular things that we start to care way to
much like the way we look, the food we eat , the things we have and dont have, our
work so that we do not lose our soul and become dominated by them. Dont worry
so much about life. Just let God surprise you. This divine love isnt just by accepting
the other, whatever he/she is, but we must be attached to the truth, the one that
we feel in our souls ,hating all the things that could banish this love.
We must realize how beautiful is the other, how many things we can learn from
him/her. Thus we would stop thinking of how perfect we are or of how many
important things we need and deserve.
This is the reason damage and wars are inflicted. We just dont realize how much we
can learn from each other and that we are destined to be connected accepting
each other and trying to make a change where is needed. We must open our gates
of perception. I am not amazing. You are !
One of my favorite philosophers , Saint Augustine said , and I quote : Love and do
as you please ! If you are quiet , do it by love, if you shout do it by love, if you want
to make a change do it by love , if you want to forgive, do it by love. The root to
everything must be love , because from it comes only good things . So if we love
ourselves more than the others then this is just a feeling that will eventually pass,
but if we always seek to the good of the other instead of ours then the feeling shall
be eternal. Only then shall we find true peace. And the presence of a peaceful man
will eventually bring peace.
Balzac said in one of his books that society needs 3 things in order to exist :
consciousness, fortune and health. In the past conscious and health were the most
important. Now the money and the hunger for more dominate everything.
To conclude , we can all agree that it is hard to reach this eternal love. Some of you
might not even believe in it. The war never stops. Between us, between our
countries. What we can do instead is to try to maintain this love , this beautiful

flame of caring for each other in order to maintain peace and not start a real war.
After all , the word peace comes from the Latin pax meaning to be bounded
together . And it burns, burns, burns, and I hope the flames will get higher !
Thank you :D

( sa nu uiti sa zici de oameni care se lupta ptr pace).


Necazurile vietii de zi cu zi nu zadarnicesc bucuria credinciosului
De altfel cuvantul (pace) provine etimologic de la verbul care inseamna "a lega impreuna". ( zici ceva de genul : after
all peace means :. ) focul iubirii
Ceea ce chinuie viata omeneasca si da nastere nelinistii si tulburarii este moartea. Pacea reala este posibila doar
prin desfiintarea mortii.
Nu se epuizeaza de conceptul concilierii politice sau sociale sprijinite pe formele si regimurile politice ale lumii
acesteia. Este pacea desavarsita a comuniunii personale, iubirii si jertfei de sine. De aceea prezenta ei in viata
sociala clatina pacea conventionala omeneasca
Poti sa faci o paralela in care spui ca un om cu credinta are pace sufleteasca
Citat Parintele Cleopa
Esenta pacatului este dezordinea in iubire; When we feel bad we see the others being bad.

Despre virtute
The strongest of all warriors are these two Time and Patience.

You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine
love.
We are asleep until we fall in Love!
Man cannot possess anything as long as he fears death. But to him who does not fear it, everything
belongs. If there was no suffering, man would not know his limits, would not know himself.
How can one be well...when one suffers morally?
Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic,
universal, aims of humanity.

What is hell? I maintain


that it is the suffering of being unable to love.

sa dai def generale precum
