Impressions of September: to Lord Baden Powell I suggest a few steps, the most significant of our founder, Sir Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden Powell of Gilwell Lord, sometimes accompanied by my comments in brackets (comments written in a different color than the base ). Happy reading and reflection.
RELIGION AND HAPPINESS '
If you really want to take your road to success, that is, to happiness, you must not only avoid the deceptions of the anti-religious propaganda (Odifreddi Piergiorgio included, though its disclosure mathematical texts are really a well of humanistic culture also means, despite having edited the treatise on the mathematical proof of the existence of God written by Goedel's just a sort of deep hatred for us Catholics go to understand these minds!)
but you have to give a religious basis to your life.
is not simply a matter of going to church or know or understand the Bible Theology (we quote St. Augustine for all).
Many people are genuinely religious, almost without knowing it and without having studied this (.. still others come to conceive of forgiveness even though atheists).
In short, religion is this:
-
First, know who and what God is (well some antidemelliana statement as consistent with eastern philosophy, he argues that about God can be said solo cosa non sia;ad ogni modo nel contenuto più profondo credo che entrambi affermino la stessa cosa!)
-
Secondo:utilizzare al meglio la vita che Egli ci ha dato e fare quanto Egli si aspetta da noi.Ciò consiste soprattutto nel fare qualcosa per gli altri (potrei affermare con un certo senso di umiltà e di completà fraternità scout :ESTOTE PARATI a SERVIRE ;una mano sulla coscienza alle B.A.!!!).
Questo dovrebbe essere il tuo credo , non come argomento di meditazione da riservare alla domenica , ma come qualcosa che tu devi vivere in ogni ora ed in ogni fase della tua vita quotidiana (le B.A. per l'appunto; and for older children remember how Scouting is a way of life).
To achieve the above two points and avoid atheism I suggest two things (here is a suggested program for life, in my view).
The first is the reading of that ancient and admirable book is the Bible, where you'll find, in addition to Divine Revelation, an extraordinarily interesting compendium of history, poetry and morals.
The second reading is another wonderful old book: that of nature, with the observation and study of all that you will find among the beauties and mysteries that it gives you and your joy . (well, personally I chose the beauty of the stars and the starry sky: exude a sense of humility that I can not explain ........ )
And finally reflect on how best to serve God as long as you can still have the life that He has given you.

GOD'S PLAN
There is a disease that is now extremely widespread, so much so that most of us is more or less affected: it is the disease di chi è troppo pieno di sè .
Abbiamo tendenza a pensare che le nostre particolari scelte politiche , la nostra visione della società, o qualunque altra cosa sia al centro dei nostri interessi sia la sola cosa realmente importante che esiste al mondo.
Il miglior rimedio per questa malattia è di dare uno sguardo alla vastità dell'Universo, o anche alla storia antica e dell'evoluzione del nostro pianeta e delle specie che lo abitano .
Allora la testa ci si sgonfia ed in tutta umiltà ci rendiamo conto che non siamo che piccole pedine nel grande gioco della Natura.Siamo su questa terra solo for a short time to do our part, with other living creatures around us, in carrying forward the great designs of the Creator, which are so far beyond our comprehension.
From the preface to a textbook of science naturali.Circa 1925.
