Discu\u0163ia noastr\u0103 despre alegerea c\u0103ii \u00een via\u0163\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 \u00eenceap\u0103 de la definirea cuvintelor \u201evoin\u0163\u0103” \u015fi \u201elibertate”, de vreme ce to\u0163i voim s\u0103 fim liberi f\u0103r\u0103 a gre\u015fi \u00een libertatea noastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
Oamenii spun foarte u\u015for: \u201eeu vreau” – f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 realizeze r\u0103zboiul care exist\u0103 \u00eentre voin\u0163\u0103 \u015fi dorin\u0163e. A voi \u015fi a dori s\u00eent lucruri principial diferite, dar, de\u015fi majoritatea oamenilor s\u00eent purta\u0163i de dorin\u0163e \u015fi nu de voin\u0163\u0103, totu\u015fi le place s\u0103 afirme c\u0103 ei \u201efac ce vor”.<\/p>\n
De ce este at\u00eet de important s\u0103 definim voin\u0163a \u00een raport cu dorin\u0163ele? Tocmai pentru c\u0103 voin\u0163a este c\u00eerma, iar dorin\u0163ele s\u00eent \u201ecombustibilul” care pune \u00een mi\u015fcare \u00eentreaga noastr\u0103 f\u0103ptur\u0103. Raportul dintre voin\u0163\u0103 \u015fi dorin\u0163e pune \u00een valoare starea de gra\u0163ie a omului, care este Libertatea, sau o umbre\u015fte, arunc\u00eendu-l pe om \u00een haosul pe care \u00eel pricinuie\u015fte ne\u00eencetata rotire a dorin\u0163elor, care prin natura lor s\u00eent mi\u015fc\u0103toare, tr\u0103g\u00eend fiecare \u00een partea ei, astfel mi\u015fc\u00eend \u015fi cl\u0103tin\u00eend voin\u0163a de care se afl\u0103 legate ca de un \u0163\u0103ru\u015f.<\/p>\n
Dac\u0103 ar fi s\u0103 ne \u00eenchipuim plastic acest lucru, am putea compara dorin\u0163ele cu ni\u015fte cai care se rotesc \u00een cerc, lega\u0163i de st\u00eelpul voin\u0163ei. At\u00eet timp c\u00eet mersul cailor e armonios, voin\u0163a r\u0103m\u00eene nemi\u015fcat\u0103, oferind mi\u015fc\u0103rii o raz\u0103 perfect\u0103, astfel \u00eenc\u00eet alergarea cailor s\u0103 par\u0103 un dans. Dac\u0103 \u00eens\u0103 unul dintre cai ar \u00eencepe s\u0103 alerge invers sau s\u0103 se ridice \u00een dou\u0103 picioare, atunci \u015fi ceilal\u0163i ar c\u0103dea prad\u0103 haosului, ajung\u00eend s\u0103 se trag\u0103 \u00een toate p\u0103r\u0163ile, p\u00een\u0103 ar smulge st\u00eelpul voin\u0163ei, t\u00eer\u00eendu-l aiurea.<\/p>\n
Voin\u0163a este ceva ce \u0163ine de libera alegere \u015fi de aceea este ceva propriu doar omului, nu \u015fi animalelor, \u00een timp ce dorin\u0163ele izvor\u0103sc din instinc te \u015fi s\u00eent legate de sim\u0163uri, fiind proprii at\u00eet oamenilor, c\u00eet \u015fi animalelor. De pild\u0103, at\u00eet oamenii, c\u00eet \u015fi animalele simt dorin\u0163a de a m\u00eenca, dar oamenii pot posti prin voin\u0163\u0103.<\/p>\n
Voin\u0163a este partea superioar\u0103 a sufletului uman, astfel c\u0103 omul poate face alegeri care nu s\u00eent dictate de dorin\u0163e, spre deosebire de animale care s\u00eent mi\u015fcate doar de dorin\u0163e \u015fi spaime. Omul face alegeri ra\u0163ionale pe care le urmeaz\u0103 – alegerile care se fac din pornirile dorin\u0163elor sau s\u00eent dictate de spaime \u00eel apropie pe om de animal, ab\u0103t\u00eendu-l de la chemarea pe care o are \u00een lume.<\/p>\n
Oamenii c\u0103l\u0103toresc f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 fie \u00eempin\u015fi de foame sau fric\u0103. Oamenii deseneaz\u0103 – o \u00eendeletnicire care nu este vital\u0103 \u015fi nu este pus\u0103 \u00een leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu nici un instinct. Oamenii \u00ee\u015fi fac haine \u00eenflorate – asta nu le face s\u0103 \u0163in\u0103 mai bine de frig. Tot a\u015fa, oamenii se retrag \u00een pustiet\u0103\u0163i pentru a se ruga, f\u0103r\u0103 a fi mina\u0163i de vreun pericol, renun\u0163\u0103 la bog\u0103\u0163ii \u015fi slav\u0103, asemenea lui Ioan Botez\u0103torul \u015fi milioanelor de sfin\u0163i din toate timpurile. \u015ei toate aceste alegeri s\u00eent rod al liberei voin\u0163e cu care l-a \u00eenzestrat Dumnezeu pe om.<\/p>\n

Care este principiul dup\u0103 care putem face alegerea corect\u0103 \u015fi ce s\u0103 facem dac\u0103 nici un \u00eenger nu vine s\u0103 ne vesteasc\u0103 cu hot\u0103r\u00eere voia lui Dumnezeu, a\u015fa cum le-a vestit-o lui Avraam, Zaharia \u015fi altor drep\u0163i? Aceasta este o \u00eentrebare-cheie pentru oricine, la care Sfinta Scriptur\u0103 \u015fi Sfin\u0163ii P\u0103rin\u0163i au dat r\u0103spunsuri multiple \u015fi aparent contradictorii, fapt care le face s\u0103 par\u0103 acoperite cu o perdea de tain\u0103 pentru ochiul omului modern.<\/p>\n
Dar a\u015fa cum nimeni nu poate \u00een\u0163elege ceea ce nu cunoa\u015fte, cunoa\u015fterea presupun\u00eend cercetare, este nevoie ca \u015fi noi s\u0103 ne aplec\u0103m asupra studiului Scripturii \u015fi al scrierilor patristice, pentru a g\u0103si firul care leag\u0103 afirma\u0163iile aparent contradictorii cu privire la voin\u0163\u0103 \u015fi alegerile pe care le facem pentru a binepl\u0103cea lui Dumnezeu \u015fi pentru a \u00eemplini rostul \u00een raport cu vremea \u015fi oamenii \u00een mijlocul c\u0103rora ne-a fost dat s\u0103 tr\u0103im.<\/p>\n
