Comparing the temporary and the eternal, the temporary is only partially and ambiguously true, the maximum truth value belongs to the eternal.
Above all love
A hidden inheritance
- of Francesco Arista and Antonella Molica
Argument
- → The temporariness, fragility, pain and contradiction of being in the world are unacceptable to the divine nature of man.
- → If you do not remember me, the world invades your conscience, conditions you, robs you of your transcendent nature, possesses you, makes you believe that you are similar, mortal, fragile.
- → Temporaneity, fragility, a way of being destined not to be, expresses the contradiction, the ambiguity of the world and of what belongs to it.
Recurrences in the text
- → The experience of the world tells man that everything is temporary and probable, it shows total and continuous changeability.
- → If everything is temporary, temporariness is also temporary, it has a beginning and an end.
- → The cause of temporariness is external to it, eternal.
- → The temporary being needs an eternal being that precedes it, contains it and goes beyond it.
- → The world's claim of total temporariness is misleading, false, requiring a search for greater truth.
- → Comparing the temporary and the eternal, the temporary is only partially and ambiguously true, the maximum truth value belongs to the eternal.
- → The child who recognizes the primacy of eternity notices that it is not easy to give it the attention it deserves, sees that the uncontrolled mind tends towards temporariness.
- → Only voluntary and determined attention allows us to recognize eternity.
