Love and «Suffering for»: A Shia Perspective on Rene Girard s Theory on Violence and the Sacred
Author(s):
Abstract:
When we know and recognize one another, our souls join with those of others. This is called taaruf in the parlance of the Quran. Taaruf increases love and unity, as it decreases violence and enmity. Knowing one another occurs in several ways. One way to know others is to love the same thing that they do. This means that several people will love a similar spiritual being. From the Shia perspective, this is a very important way in which people can understand and sympathize with one another. Sharing a common beloved also creates a loving relationship between oneself and others. Many people come to love one another since they share love for the same being and because their love is directed to the reality of the Truth, which is an all-inclusive reality. To create a love such as this requires a strong remembrance which comes about through the remembrance of the beloved, ones sufferings for. Communication based on such love differs widely from the peace that is based on using a scapegoat, as described in Rene Girards Violence and the Sacred.
