À propos de cette méditation
This video shows some images of some buildings that still have some scares from the Civil War. The light that comes once in a while, reminds me that religion can be a light but too often it is put in a cage and what was supposed to connect us (The word religion derives from the Latin word religio and it is connected to the notion of sacred. Cicero (106BC-43BC) attributed its origins to the verb 're-legere', meaning to re-read, re-trace, re-consider diligently the connection or relationship with God.) is just a prison used to separated us from the other and at the same from god (univers, oneness, love)

Try dialogue again and again
Pratiquer le dialogue encore et encore. N'employez jamais la violence car elle est inutile.

I saw myself as a protector of my religion
Unfortunately Christianity became a title to define myself with or my people. But it should be a way of living a life of love.
