The world is in shock. Again shows the contingency face in the tragedy in the Air France flight. Worth mentioning: contingency means that events are not always necessary, when something happens for no reason that explains or justifies it. Contingency generates unforeseen events that run away from the wheels of cause and effect. An airplane crashes because the world is uncertain, and not because I was a victim of fate or God's plan
is said in the common sense that people only die when their time comes. If anything, this is true, the fate of people gathered in a plane that should die that day. That would give fate a frightening power. Impossible to think that people of more than thirty countries entered in the Flight 447 without knowing that meet a blind force that led to the last day of their lives.
Similarly, to believe that God allows the collapse of the aims of the plane because he seems rather eccentric. Every person with stories, projects, dreams have been torn existence because that would lead to the end goal? A macro lens? That is, because humanity ou learn to repent? That would ensure that products become scartabili, despicable. The Divine Potter, without needing to explain themselves, drown people to drive the macro story for the glorious end? Yes? Although there is a god so I do not want it.
And then, people who accept that God has a plan for each individual death. True, he is God, has all the power and the ability to gather in one place, everyone should die. But it is good as well. Then, all passengers were elected to do Qualle purpose? We are satisfied to think that the good harvest of so many lives, without any sense on our side, it is guaranteed eternity? ("God knows what he does"?) How to explain this concept for parents, children and lone parents? All are chained to the tragic reality that has separated from their dear ones.
The idea that God has a plan for each death is emptied in front of the numbers. An airplane crashed, but what about the countless accidents every day? What about the stray bullets that cripple pedestrians? And medical error or traffic accidents? Recently a lady in our community has fallen from the attic of the house under construction. She photographed the work because her daughter could help with the cost of the finish. She broke her back and became a paraplegic. The last could give an explanation which is that God had a plan in making paralysis. Jesus never cogito
the world without contingency. Indeed, not associated the collapse of a tower to the divine purposes, did not say that man's blindness was the result of causal internal actions, and that of his parents, he noticed that his disciples would face the storms, sorrow and death.
The contingency is the space of freedom. Thus, the human condition. Without the contingency dehumanize us. The awareness of the risk of getting sick and unpredictability of sudden death is the price we paid for our humanity.
The crash of the plane shows the futility of thinking that the proper exercise of religion and the most excellent technological capacity is enough to cancel the contingency. Our life is uncertain and ephemeral. So live it intensely. Each applicant may be the last. Carpe Diem!
