As redes sociais mostraram recentemente um filme em que o compositor Chico Buarque estava saindo de um restaurante no Rio e foi interpelado por um grupo de jovens da classe alta, que começou a discutir com ele por conta de suas posições políticas, e por sua defesa ao PT.
Percebo que vivemos num tempo de grande amargura; quando pessoas estão com o pavio curto e preparadas para a agressão por muito pouco.
Discute-se hoje o conceito de “tolerância”. Mas, o que é tolerância?
Tolerar não significa que temos que concordar com as pessoas ou gostar de suas posições ideológicas. Tolerar significa que, a despeito de discordarmos completamente, devemos respeitar o outro na liberdade de crer e defender as próprias ideias.
A intolerância é provocada por uma visão reducionista. Quando discordamos de algum ponto de vista de alguém, reduzimos a nossa visão deles ao aspecto da nossa discórdia, e frequentemente, cometemos injustiça por causa do preconceito. Deixe-me usar o exemplo do Chico Buarque. Ainda que não concorde com o posicionamento dele quanto ao PT, não posso me esquecer do quanto ele significou para a nação brasileira, principalmente nos anos sombrios da ditadura militar, quando as pessoas eram presas, torturadas e mortas por causa de suas convicções políticas.
Se hoje podemos nos expressar, e até mesmo criticar duramente o governo, devemos a todos os que lutaram pela democracia, dentre os quais, o Chico é um dos principais expoentes.
A intolerância tem dominado muitos setores da sociedade. No setor religioso, cristãos que deveriam propagar o amor de Cristo se digladiam por causa de diferenças teológicas, eclesiásticas e comportamentais.
A sociedade brasileira também tem se dividido nas questões morais. De um lado, os cristãos defendendo a estrutura da família segundo a Bíblia; do outro, aqueles que os acusam de homofobia, e de intolerância, simplesmente por não aceitarem as mudanças por eles propostas.
Será que a intolerância é a causa de todas as guerras ou é a exteriorização de uma insatisfação essencial que domina a alma humana; a manifestação da profunda decepção do homem com o seu semelhante, e consigo mesmo?
Não podemos nos esquecer que a intolerância é a arma do ódio, da segregação, do preconceito e do desamor. Intolerância não combina com o Evangelho de Cristo.
O Evangelho não constrói muros, mas edifica pontes; não é coercitivo, mas opcional. Cristo se alegra imensamente quando alguém decide seguir o seu caminho voluntariamente, e nunca, em hipótese alguma, deixa de amar os que o rejeitam.
Por isso, não basta ter a teologia correta; é necessário termos a “praxis” adequada. Fundamentalismos exacerbados matam em nome de Deus.
O que espero para o ano de 2016?
Um tempo muito duro, com impactos profundos na economia brasileira, mas, também, um ano de grandes oportunidades para anunciarmos o amor de Cristo.
Não se esqueçam, Jesus disse que seríamos conhecidos como seus discípulos se nos amássemos uns aos outros. Detalhe importante, isso inclui aqueles de quem discordamos profundamente!
