In a world unraveling at the seams, where conflicts rage and the value of human life seems to diminish with each passing day, there lies an undeniable truth—those who harm others first fail to see the value in themselves. This absence of self-worth spreads like wildfire, consuming not only individual souls but whole communities, nations, and, indeed, our collective humanity. How do we heal from this? How do we restore balance to a world tipped dangerously towards destruction?

Imagine a seed, once full of promise, buried in the soil but forgotten. Without water, it withers. Without light, it dies. Such is the state of the soul that no longer recognizes its connection to the broader fabric of life. Those who perpetuate violence and inflict harm on others are like seeds that have lost touch with the sun. They become disconnected, not only from others but from their inner light, their intrinsic humanity.

A World Drenched in Fear

We live in a time where suspicion has become the currency of power. Fear whispers into the hearts of people and magnifies their insecurities. This is the heart of the problem: a world drenched in fear, where competition for land, resources, and material gain drives human beings to see one another as obstacles rather than as fellow travelers on a shared journey. The greed that fuels wars, whether in Palestine, Ukraine, or Cameroon, does not arise from strength, but from profound weakness—the weakness of a soul that no longer values life, neither its own nor that of others.

As you journey through life, remember this: "A person who does not know where the rain began to beat them cannot say where they will dry their body." This African proverb reminds us that in order to heal the world, we must first seek to understand the origins of our pain—both collective and personal. Those who harm others do so because they themselves are wounded, living under the shadows of unresolved fears and traumas. They are, in a sense, patients, though they may appear powerful and untouchable, wealthy and influential. Their minds are sick, and their spirits have been led astray.

Healing Requires Patience

The healing of these violent hearts, these minds bent on destruction, cannot be rushed. It is a work of compassion, intelligence, and deep psychological insight. A wise proverb tells us: "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." Those who commit acts of war and violence are often those who have not felt the warmth of belonging, of self-worth, of purpose. And so, they lash out, believing that by taking from others, they will somehow fill the void within themselves.

But the void cannot be filled by material things, nor by the domination of others. Life is not a contest for power and possession; rather, it is a sacred journey, one where true fulfillment comes not from what we accumulate, but from how deeply we connect—with ourselves, with others, and with the world.

The Path of Restoration: Seeing Through a New Lens

To restore balance, we must shift our focus from competition to collaboration, from greed to generosity, from fear to understanding. This is the essence of Spiriletics, the wisdom that teaches us to align our lives with the cosmic rhythms of the universe. According to the Ashingne tradition, life is an interconnected web, and each of us is but a single thread in this grand tapestry. To harm another is to weaken the entire fabric of existence, just as nurturing kindness strengthens it. As the proverb says, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

We must teach this wisdom to future generations. We must show them that true power does not come from the ability to destroy, but from the capacity to heal. Those who lead nations and those who guide families must learn to wield their influence with the spirit of Spiriletics—balancing power with compassion, strategy with empathy, and strength with humility.

We can find guidance in the teachings of Emmanuel Mallo, who speaks of "The Revolution of the Heart"—a call to reclaim humanity from the forces of greed and fear that dominate our world today. Like the African traditions that teach us the importance of honoring our ancestors and living in harmony with the earth, Spiriletics reminds us that life is not something to be dominated or conquered, but something to be cherished and nurtured.

Moving Forward: A Call to Action

The time has come to heal, to dismantle the structures of violence and build instead a world where peace is not just the absence of war, but the presence of justice, understanding, and love. Let us remember: "The ax forgets, but the tree remembers." Those who have suffered violence carry the scars deep within their hearts. But through acts of kindness, through the slow and deliberate work of reconciliation, we can help these wounds to heal.

We must take this journey together. Each step, no matter how small, is a part of the greater path towards a world where life is revered, not exploited. Through the teachings of Spiriletics and the wisdom of the ancestors, we can rediscover the value of life—our own and that of others. Let us commit ourselves to this revolution of the heart, knowing that true change comes not from violence or destruction, but from the courage to love, even in the face of fear.

The path of kindness will lead us home, and it is a path we must walk together.
