"The notion is that spiritual battle between good and evil is something that should be conducted on an individual basis and within. So that if you want to constrain evil you don't search for it in the external world, because that can make you a persecutor and an accuser. You attempt to bind its manifestation in the confines of your own life, and that's partly what takes it out of the political realm.
And so, if you don't do that and it collapses into the political, then you start looking for demonic enemies everywhere to account for malevolence. And the problem with that is, that it turns you into a sensorial self righteous persecutor."

Vai izsakoties latviski - No viena grāvja citā. Būt svētākam par pāvestu. Un tā tālāk.

Ja nav gadījies, iesaku Čestertonu. Viņa Father Brown stories ļoti uzrunājošas, tsk arī no šī viedokļa.

Šobrīd ļoti nomierina.
