The political scientist Kaloyan Metodiev published on his Facebook page a different comment about the meaning of not only Easter , but also of Christianity in general. And about what are the signs of civilization.
Here is the text:
Students asked the famous anthropologist Margaret Mead what she thought was the first sign of civilization. The hall expected that he would start lining up fishing hooks, clay vessels, flour stones, arrowheads… Nothing of the kind. Mead told them that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a broken femur that was found and treated. In the animal kingdom, she added, if you break a leg – you are dying You can't run away from a threat, you can't drink water or look for food. You become prey for the stronger. No animal can survive with a broken leg to have time to heal. A healed fracture is evidence that someone has taken the time to stay with the sick person, to dress the wound, to care for them, for their safety while they heal. Helping someone in need is the moment it begins civilization. “We are at our best when we serve others! Be civilized!“, she finished her answer to the silent audience.
This is how I understand Christianity and politics.
Christ is Risen!
