Just think of yourself as something more than your body… Can you see which sicknesses affect the soul, for using a word?
Many years
ago, I listened to someone who referred the crisis on values as one of those
illnesses and it is clear the pandemic of loneliness also comes from
within, as a virus that is affecting the self.
The present
war, the greed that is eating the world, the lack of trust on institutions and
many other things are visible symptoms that indicate something is not right –
and if they are not right in the macro level, we should think things are not right
in the micro level.
Comparing
with a body, we think of it as sick when organs are not working as they should
and, by understanding the symptoms, we can find out the sickness and look for a
cure.
My question
is: what to do in relation to a sick soul?
That means
ME, YOU, that micro level that sums and interacts with others generating a
definite impact on the macro.
Because of
too many factors, it is not possible to correct the macro level, even though we
have been trying for ages. But to reach the micro level is EXTREMELY possible
as it is under our power and control. And if we change the self, the world will
be changed too at some point.
So, a point
for reflection: what is the surgery we should undergo, in terms of the soul?
By fixing the illnesses of the self, the world will heal.
