In the Gospel of Luke (Luke 10:38-42) has a passage that says:"Going
in they way, Jesus entered a village. And a certain woman named Martha
hosted Him at her house. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the feet of the Lord to hear his teachings while Marta
walked from one side to another, occupied in many services. Then Martha
approached Jesus and said, Lord, You do not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Order her to help
me. Answered the Lord: Martha, Martha,you 're always worried and you care
about many things. However, little is needed or even one thing; Mary
therefore have chosen that good part, which shall not be taken."
I never understood the message of this passage! How so chose the best part for doing nothing? I always thought that when heard this passage of the Gospel.But now, after all this hard road of my pain and acceptance, I did! The interpretation that I believe may be the following: Marta was attached to material things and thought coould drive everythingby herself. Mary on the other hand was dedicated to God and put everything in His hands.Drawing a parallel with our case, this refers to the posture we adopt, that is, we try to elucidate everything that happened physically and be seeking material answers like Martha or rely on God and believe, without further explanation, that this was the timing and mission prepared by Jesus. It's much easier to think so and so we will be doing the good part!And paradoxical as it seems to think this way is rational. It is a rational way to satisfy the basic need to keep working, relating and finally living. It is a life choice based on the classification in order of preference as we economists know well. It is economically rational to choose the lowest opportunity cost associated and the alternative use of our limited time in lamentations, disinterest in what is part of our attributions and infinite sadness, is not rational. What happened was not our choice but to have faith and believe that everything is part of God's plan is a choice. Is the right choice.
