What I am about to say believe fly in the face of what most people on this planet, but true: is the only way to happiness complete, lasting and fulfilling loving others and focusing on them rather than be selfish and get things "our own way". It is a spiritual truism that millions have found pinnacle of the transcendence of human existence.
When we are looking for our own things that rightly should not be ours, we can wreak havoc in the lives of persons close to us. I recently saw a movie that illustrates the point well. «ü Kiss background...» "is a title after a poem by Robert Burns"Ae Fond Kiss, then we'll break..."»
The plot of the movie involves a decent Glaswegian (Casim) of Pakistani Muslim man and a teacher of music Irish-born (Roisin). They fall in love with each other.However, Casim is willing to marry in 2 months and relationship full passion strike ground rocheux.Tout throughout the film, lives of many people, cultural traditions and family relationships are devastated by Casim and known unevenly Roisin relationship. Casim parents would never accept a "Gorée" (a white girl), and he knows, apart from the fact that break the marriage iminent casts shame on Islamic community of close family family name.
As the progress of history and fans also fall into trouble. lies and deception rule the most, from Roisin with low in the car that they car front shop cousin Casim to go on holiday with no other knowledge, this duck is paradoxically when first Casim tells Roisin was developed to marry in nine weeks.
In the meantime, the father of family-faithful Casim, Tariq, is building occupied home to meet the needs of Casim and his wife-to-be, cousin Jasmine extensions.It offers at home, that it can afford his fils.Ce also aggravates the problem for the family is two sisters Casim possess their own questions. the boy is very determined to not become a doctor like the will of her parents, but leaving Glasgow and Edinburgh to study journalism. Its acceptance to the University, it reaches with disdain, and in the light of all these questions it breaks completely father. He sees what he values the danger.
The view from Roisin is predictable. It is almost just as very angry at the prospect of "a" for Casim cousin and fights for him, putting more pressure on massively tenuous question - it has no influence on the gravity of the situation and can think only of herself. Casim wants what it wants, and the rest belongs to history. It's a family disaster zone! It is a clash of cultures with Western crushing is morally.
He made me grimacing to think that a stupid meeting of love (or "thirst") is so lives an absolute poverty, this included "the happy couple." This kind of thing overwrites life today, such as the generation of today (and yesterday) it could take on themselves "struggle for their freedom." What freedom?Freedom at the expense of those who love and sacrifice for them! This kind of freedom comes at a high and sustainable cost, but those in the middle of the problem and the Casim Roisin, just see il.Le cost is made in the blood high-relationships are forever changed and troubled.Entire families are destroyed spiritually. The cost is sustainable.It can never be right back after Act accompli.Les damage are made. It is a tragedy of real-life arrives every day several times in the course in the world, and it is just an example of culture shock.
Countless potential relationships and those involving children are smashed every day due to selfishness and the sin of lust.Kissing loved Ae, then we'll break... is used without danger.Un time stupid, selfish proudly want do not deal with the pain of the problem, is not only two lives sinking, but the famille.Il is plain opposed to the real meaning of "joy".
Back to the original "plot" of the story, joy is the result of true humility which could be described as altruism. I love how the Apostle Paul is:
"So if you have any incentives being United with Christ, if any comfort of love, if any common sharing in the spirit, if no sensitivity and compassion, then my complete joy by being animated like-minded, having the same love, spirit and mind." Do nothing from selfish ambition or vain vanity.Instead, with humility value other than yourself, do steps to your own interests [alone], but each of you for the interests of others.» [1]
If Christians or not, the truth is the same.If you win anything of love, make sure that give you something back.The essence of joy is in the discussion and not ourselves, but a shift to others.Casim thought it to join in Roisin, could have a respectful approach with her and left who, knowing the potential harm that it was before the two if involved together.Joy in this light is one of being in control of the self and are not to deal with the guilt of destruction of relationships familiales.La "real obstacle unit is..""self-centrality," [2] and its isolation from the other needs.Egocentrism in this manner is therefore low .c ' is without résoudre.Il is a truth that nobody can get away "unit in the community".Hommage this truth and that you can get the negligence joy to you and your community disappearance.
The quote above effectively, said "if we loved (per family), then we should love back; in preparation for returning love even a little more."We are called to do something to love that we are given, which, if it is Christ, then it is thanks to the love of family and their sacrifices to nous.À light of this we should be wary and protective and like us, is ready to do the same kind of sacrifices for our members of the family, as they have done for nous.Il is fair and equitable.
