Christmas Under Suspicion: Peace, Mercy and Forgiveness

We are left with a shocking and unfriendly country, to put it mildly. Above all, because of the things that happen in the world of politics and misgovernance, both at the state and national levels Paque de Cerdan Destroying the English court, as happened with Trump’s dismantling of Venezuela. We are starting December, which is when… Excites and leads to ChristmasWhether we are in favor or not of this historical event is celebrated even in Japan without being completely clear about what is actually being celebrated.

Many complain that the ruling party and Perfume sellers started very earlyaround November, to sell us ceremonial artillery. Others rub their hands and encourage themselves to enjoy life in the best way possible, with the main concern being having fun.

The bad thing is not that Christmas is coming soon, which always arrives on December 25, but everything that happens surrounding this great date. It’s kind of real stage fright What’s to come: Business dinners, family meals, shopping at all times, gifts everywhere, toasts, kisses, hugs… The party becomes an ordeal of excess rather than a manger of peace and hope. If we consider the hero of this event to be pure and just, God created manwas born in the isolation of a stable surrounded by a few people who did not fully understand the magnitude of what was happening at that time.

The host who accompanied us, who knew the history of the city well, reminded us of a key phrase from the life of Athania:Peace, mercy and forgiveness“. The politician announced it in Barcelona on July 18, 1938, in which he demanded an end to the civil war.

Athania’s words were not only a political speech, but also an emotional evocation of revolution Unity and harmony of the Spaniards. Fortunately, times are not the same. However, it is a very polarized reality created by politicians today, fundamentally Pedro Sanchez with the separation wall Between the “sanchista” and the rest of the Spaniards, it almost always ends in heated confrontations, including family and work confrontations.

Maybe that’s why, when it’s your turn during these holidays to sit down to eat next to your progressive brother-in-law or… A conservative daughter-in-law has different ideas than her ownTake it very calmly –keep calm and carry on-And remember to make true what the famous phrase suggests which works almost like karma: Peace, mercy and forgiveness“, which was pronounced by Athaniabut long before him and with greater weight and meaning, it was uttered by the protagonist on Christmas itself.
