Man then waited a long time for the Savior, who would free him from his sins. However, it soon became clear that the Savior wanted not only to save, but also to change, and this was not how man imagined it, so he crucified the Savior. Since biblical times, the unequal struggle between the crowd and the hero who stood out from the crowd has been going on. We came into the world to change it, to make it better, and if we do not succeed in this, then our children, the heroes and champions of the future, who will certainly be many times better than us, will do it. But may God have mercy on them if they want to be DIFFERENT than we were, if they do not act as we expect them to. ; (Péter Somos)
