So much news about survival and politics these days. The commentary often include predictions on what the powerful will do and how we, the victims can fight back but fighting is so harmful. Do we want to keep looking over our shoulder debating alternatives, summing up our chances of winning? Do we really want to see this planet as a commodity to win? Furthermore do we want to see our relationships as win or lose games? My wins depend on your losses. It feels like carrying weapons responsibly.
But aren't we missing the point if winning is the only game? It seems to me we are part of the solution. We are not living in a win or lose world. We live with uncertainty. Jesus of Nazareth created feasts of hope not live or die, not a competition, if I believe the bible is true. But Jesus is not available for conversations. Since then we have learned from Martin Luther King, Mary Oliver, Carl Jung, Simone de Bouvoir and others who try to reach us.
