My God, may I ask You. I read a very nice interview with the writer Adriaan van Dis* and at one point, because he doesn't like to bump people's heads even when he is surprised about themselves, or their behaviour, he says this:
"I like to leave people in their wonderful value"
I was very moved by this sentence and found it touching. Would You like to comment on
this ?
My son, this attitude towards people bears witness of a great caution
but also a great amazement at the wondrous ways of man and how man views his
own life. In fact, this amazement is that of the spiritual world at what man is
able to do on earth, in his special evolutionary course from former ape to
spiritual being. But more than that, this great caution is that of God Itself, who views man,
his free will, his gait, his self-importance, his inclinations and
short-sightedness, his wrong choices and prejudices with respect and much love.
God likes to leave people in their wondrous value.
And if other things are needed in life, for the world cannot run on
people and their wondrous value alone, then eventually the laws of God will
correct things.
Adriaan van Dis is blessed.
My blessings to you all
