On Sins and Virtues - Lubomyr Husar
region)
Foreword
He said he wanted to be a Human Being putting a very special sense into this word. And that is what he was — a Human Being. Unique, extrordinary — yet humble. His austerity and modesty highlighted his grandeur.
Few people have a moral right to expound on human morality in public. Liubomyr Huzar certainly was such a person since he himself was a man of high moral standards.
In this book he speaks about human merits and shortcomings — not as a celestial divinity, but as a wise man who obtained his wisdom through his personal experience including his own errors and weaknesses. He doesn’t boast of his impeccability and he doesn’t scorn those who are called sinners. His love for his neighbor encompasses all the neighbours regardless of their devoutness or depravity, nor their faith, nationality or social status...
In their everyday communication with each other people often forget about their calling in this world to be Human beings, and behave in an immature way falling back on unseemly actions. Liubomyr Huzar sees the root of all evil namely in the lack of love, respect and tolerance. More often than not, in the lack of self-respect.
I believe this latest one of the books he has written will help many people better realize their role in the human society, in their relations with their kindred, friends, neighbours and colleagues and even with their enemies, if any.

On sins an virtue
People like talking about other people’s merits and demerits. Our attitude to others is often based on our view of human virtues and sins. But in my communication with others I come to the conclusion that many people do not know what some or other virtues and vices mean, and what is hidden behind them...
Our Lord created man free, gave him mind and will and entitled him to do good. Therefore, it is inherent in the human nature to be free, or, in other words, to have an opportunity to choose. Thus, to be free means to make a choice in favour of good. And when we sin, we do it due to our infirmity and weakness. A person can err and do evil, but they were not entitled to do it by our Lord.
I hope this book will help grasp the essence of what we — for short — call good
and evil
, as well as how they are manifested in human deeds and thoughts.
Good and evil.

Kindness
A person is considered to be kind if they do good and sow the seeds of good all-around for their relatives, friends, beloved ones and acquaintances. Everything they do has a positive feature to it and yields benefit to those who it is directed at. Being kind means above all trying to be oneself, being human. We show our kindness through doing our duty in accordance with our human nature. If a machine functions properly, we say it is a good machine. Likewise a person who accomplishes their human mission successfully is a good
or kind
person.
On top of that, a kind person does good with a smile, in a positive mood and seeks no reward.
