That is why antagonism should be overcome at the outset by obliging the enemy and offering every possible settlement before it can come to a lawsuit or a state of war. Only a life born out of unconstrained feeling, out of childlike, genuine emotion, loving all people the way children do, is capable of such an attitude. Only through this same childlike trust can we become one with God. The kingdom of God belongs to the young and to the childlike. Youth is stormy.
Young people love what is absolute and true, genuine and spontaneous.
This is why young people are the revolutionaries of whom Jesus says they seize the kingdom as if by violence. Since Jesus came, the kingdom of God rushes in with force wherever it is taken by storm. It is the same as with a man buried alive in an earthquake. In the foul, lethally compressed air, he suddenly manages to break an opening, and the fresh air rushes in. At that moment the man feels completely united with the world he is longing for, even though he is still unable to step into it.
