How to know God's will?
Instead of asking for good possessions and achievement is through the development of virtues where we can ask God's will, he wants and we want to become mentally and emotionally stronger, the abundance can make us weak living between the life of pleasure.
[Aristotle]I pray to be a person who can see and act with justice , and that starts treating me with respect as treating others, understanding myself and forgiving others. I deserve another chance like others also.
[Kant]The virtue with justice could start with a demand for a better person, family and society but it always starts with myself because it will be completely incongruent to ask for something that I can't give.
[Jesus Christ]As a kid I was punished for certain kinds of conduct like showing lack of respect to a family member. Showing a lack of respect could have consequences, because I have been a victim when someone is not respecting me, it does not feel good. If I do this also I am being part of the same situation. Think about corruption. No one likes corrupt politics but I am also corrupt. How I can throw a rock if I am another sinner.
We want a better world, better society, we need to start with ourselves, and instead of pretending to have amazing things or create amazing things we need to start with the basics. In my case do the laundry and throw the rubbish then we see what is coming after.
