The death of intimacy

sick tree

Everywhere, on the Internet, in newspapers or on television, personal experience is displayed, expresses and wants to be reference. This indecency is based on an inversion of values. It is based especially and everywhere on the idea of ​​the same. The idea of ​​the same thinking: "I lived this, my experience reflects a universal feeling. I mean what I experienced. I ask myself as an essential witness ”. It is confusing the universal and the general. What is forgotten, misunderstood is the difference that lies between each man; And each man is singular. Not singular by his sexual orientations or by his manias, but intrinsically. This is an old new concept at the beginning of the 21st century. By his experience, by his culture and by his nature, each man shows a facet of man, and each facet is singular. Create in the image of God . Now it is impossible for us, if not by looking at men and considering them as all singular, to embrace God. The forgetting of God brings back to the same. Everyone goes there from their contine which, even if it can say the tragic of an existence, is only a contine because it does not even begin to say the tragic of man.

The man learns almost nothing of his personal experience. He only learns from his meeting with God. He learns nothing of his personal experience because she lowers the height when his relationship with God pupils. Modern man should exhibit his personal experience, as his loss of relationship with God leads him to forget evil. Forget the evil goes through the forgetting of sin. Unamuno wrote in "The tragic feeling of life": "For Saint Paul, the most execrable sin is greed. Because greed is to take the means for ends. And he added that the other terrible illness, daughter of spiritual greed, was the desire. To say your personal experience already consists in provoking envy; provoking envy is invoking it. Our era arrived at this height of stupidity that it wants everyone to be envied; that it pushes everyone to show off, to become objects of desire, therefore of envy. Epoque based on self -expression, selfishness, egotism and egocentrism; A time when it is good to lift taboos, to understand the springs of everything. Epoque which hates what is hidden and which considers secret as a tare. Epoque of bitter psychology forcing everyone to nudity under the pretext of having to accept. This desire for psychology, this exaltation of the ego which involves barely expanding and exhibition, has only a confused goal, allow everyone to better . Psychoanalysis wants to always reveal and let the feelings express that very often are seen as brakes at better living. The ego and the same live. They secrete desire. All these famous feelings whose psychoanalysis of us can arise from a Christian education since it has an admitted goal: to fight against any feeling of envy. It is therefore possible as two communicating antagonistic forces that it is good for Christian education to regulate envy creates bitterness or resentment. We see here two forces compensate terribly: Christianity and its refusal of envy, which starts from the principle that "I" is wrong because it never is enough vis-à-vis the other, and the Modern world armed with its precepts of transparency, similarity and equality, which reduces any hierarchical or structured functioning to its ideology of the same which reassures and confirms it.
It is logical that the lack of intimacy, secret, interiority grows in this way to show off. It is indeed a modern perversity which obliges to exhibit, which creates envy in the other, which therefore meets the other and exalts its reflection and only its reflection, and which Bout of this feat - because we often give ourselves a lot of trouble to succeed in creating this desire - completely forgets the other by an arrogant attitude. Obviously, because there is no meeting. It is indeed a diabolical and adolescent mechanism to take up the right word from Tony Anatrella. "I lack self -confidence as a teenager - while I am already an adult - I get backwards by showing my intimacy and creating the curiosity of the other, I become the center of interest of the other that I Do not take long to reject because this other created me in a way and it is no longer of any use to me and it reminds me of my efforts, and sometimes the humiliations I received to arrive where I am. No chance of meeting can arise from this attitude. It is logical that by dint of looking into ourselves, one does not see and no longer knows how to make the other case. The other would even become a brake on freedom that can only be individual. In this attitude, the disintegration of society also finds its source. This navelist era where everyone displays their personal experience is based on narcissism to hope to withdraw a few seconds of glory from this exhibition. Create desire, even to have nothing more. Create desire as if to live the dream life even a few minutes. Creating envy can only lead to misery. But what would we do for a few seconds of this false glory? Where the ancients taught us to handle with great discretion and great discernment all the things of the desire, not to create envy when it was possible to avoid it, to respect this rule valid at all times in all places, We have the will to become an object of envy 1 . Narcissism is always an atrophy of love. A fatal self -search through the other. Or perhaps, even more tendentious, and closer to legend, a search for the other through you.

Personal experience is definitive. She does not support the contradiction. It is only vanity. Everyone knows the sentence of the ecclesiastes: "Vanitas Vanitatum Omnia Vanitas ..." (vanity of vanities, everything is vanity). This sentence will soon no longer make sense because no one will know what the word vanity will mean. Maybe he will even be considered a compliment? A kind of accomplishment, a kind of fullness? On that day, intimacy will mean to appear naked to the greatest number; On that day, pornography will be considered one of the fine arts; That day, the world will have nothing more to learn. That day, intimacy will have been defeated and with it inner life, men will have nothing to do with them, they will have everything broken in the world, and it is the prince of this world who will rejoice, his work demolition coming to an end. On that day, misery will reign over the world, because with intimacy, it is prayer, and therefore the truth, which will be traying in the channel, all broken, all troubled, very bruised. And indecency, and imposture, and lie, will parade in front of them by spitting them, striking them, vilifying them. "You were doing the beautiful before, you strut down, strong to represent great immutable principles, but you are now discredited and reduced to nothing, while we are the new temple guards. Justice is done2. »

  1. "If a man catches even one or two fish while his companions (in their boat on the high seas) do nothing, he does not keep a single of his catches. Otherwise it would be exposed to the worst medisions. People rationally explain this custom by the obligation to spare social relationships. Indeed if one of them takes fish in the net not at sea, but in the lagoon, it can keep everything "because it is alone". It is only as a member of a crew that he falls under the stroke of the tradition mentioned above and that they call verbatim "blockage-of" (te po o te kaimeo) ". (Raymon Firth on Polynesian civilizations).
