  • “Ce Que Nous Croyons ”
    “ Ce que nous croyons ” Le deuil “ Ce que nous croyons ” Pas après pas, de la mort vers la vie Reconnaître la perte « Faire un travail de deuil », « faire son deuil »... Ces expressions nous rappellent qu’il est nécessaire de reconnaître la perte qu’occasionne la mort, de l’affronter, pour pouvoir ensuite se reconstruire. Mais elles sonnent parfois comme des injonctions impossibles à accepter par celles et ceux qui viennent de perdre un être cher. Quand je suis ébranlée, quand j’aspire à une seule chose, me cacher au fond de ma maison, au fond de mon lit, au fond de moi-même, comment pourrais- je « faire un travail de deuil », comme quelque chose qui se déciderait, comme une bonne résolution que l’on prendrait ? Comment pourrais-je « faire mon deuil » comme s’il fallait tourner la page ? Ces formulations ne reflètent-elles pas quelque peu le désir de nos sociétés d’oublier au plus vite la mort parce qu’elle nous dérange, qu’elle est difficile à accepter ? Être reconnu dans sa douleur Chacun vit la rupture à son rythme et l’intègre en son temps. Sur le chemin de deuil, il importe d’abord d’être reconnu dans sa peine. Dans la Bible (Livre de Ruth), Naomi, rentrant dans son pays après la mort de son mari et de ses deux fils, réclame : « Ne m’appelez plus Naomi. Appelez-moi ‘‘Mara’’, ‘‘Amère’’, car je suis partie pleine et je reviens vide. » Naomi a raison, la mort de l’être aimé creuse en nous un grand vide. Le deuil nous laisse comme amputés d’une part de nous-mêmes.

Vol. XVII. October, 1904. No. I THE EVOLUTION OF THE JAPANESE. The nations which figure in the present stage of the world's activities are known as modern nations. In this age of ad- vancement, when, for the most part, civil wars and political strifes have ceased, when popular will holds sway, and educa- tional and industrial, rather than military interests, engage The minds of men, kings and Napoleons no longer fix the desti- nies of nations. Never before did the law of the survival of the fittest hold such sway, and today, in the realms of the polit- ical, military, commercial, and industrial worlds, a nation's in- tellectual condition marks her fitness. Therefore, the peoples which are factors in the world's pres- ent progress are intellectual peoples, peoples which by their very thriftiness make themselves felt. To the realization of these facts, the people of Japan were awakened about fifty years ago. In 1854, when Commodore Perry sailed into that Japanese harbor on his mission of friendship, a strange thing happened to the Japanese. Never before had they looked upon a foreign vessel within a harbor of theirs and they at once made prepa- rations for resistance to the invader. So completely were they excluded from the outside world that Commodore Perry spent months in getting access to the proper authorities and in making it understood that his mission to them was one of friendship.
