Метанойя

— Father Alexander! Can a person become happy in this earthly life?

— Absolutely, they can! The recipe is simple: do not judge anyone for anything, endure everything from everyone, feel sorry for everyone, pray for everyone (and for yourself, of... course). And sincerely wish happiness to everyone, and try to use every little opportunity to do even a small good for someone.

In spiritual life, the "boomerang effect" operates — if you send evil to someone else, it will return to you and strike you. If you send good, it will also return, bring you joy, and make you happy even in this life.

— Father Alexander! But where does one find the strength and sincere desire to follow this recipe?
