Dear friends of the Eastern Orthodox tradition, Christ has risen!
Greetings to all of our other friends as well, of course!
For me this great day of Easter is a holiday of union. This is not a solely Christian holiday. For me Christ was a great philosopher who realized that all people are the same and that all need to be good to each other. That is why he sacrificed himself. He wanted to show us the power of the human will. Ready to die for the others and then rise again to prove the superiority of the human spirit when guided by faith.
Of course, every one of us has the opportunity to show this power in his or her own life by pursuing their goals with determination and faith every day. We don't even have to die. But we can learn from the goodness that Christ was teaching us.
So what am I trying to say?
I just want to see the goodness and peace one can find on Easter every day. Is it that difficult? I don't think so. I think that all we have to ask ourselves is "How do we do it?" And believe that the answer will come to us. And it will come. In fact, we might even get some extra options. Easily. Without much extra effort.
Enjoy life!
