Estera – biblijny obraz kobiety jako antidotum na chorobę współczesnego feminizmu
Staniszewski, Piotr (Prymasowski Instytut Kultury Chrześcijańskiej im. Stefana Kard. Wyszyńskiego w Bydgoszczy, 2018)
The biblical image of Esther is a concise display of the wealth of femininity. This may serve as a source and inspiration for those who strive to demonstrate and preserve its imperishable value. The motif of “concealment” in the woman’s name is didactic in nature and leads to surprising effects. The didactic character stems from the effort to adhere to the principle of personal modesty and to demonstrate confidence in others, who are worth the wait to reveal their goodness. Subtle diplomacy plus courage in using suggestions lead to altruism, which is impressive as it has nothing to do with personal vanity. If that is combined with the awareness of having received undeserved gifts and with consistency in pursuing what is perceived as good, such a person immediately becomes a benefactor and a model to follow. Esther is like that since by respecting both history and contemporary circumstances she involuntarily provided a shining example to be followed by future generations. The beauty of this path may inspire delight and lead to action without unnecessary rational discussions whose malady lies in their never-ending character.
