This gives us a better idea of what zeal itself - with all its different aspects - was for Benedict, and then we will understand better what meaning it has for us today. It is rewarding, first to look at Chapter 72 as a whole (Nr.1), and then to see how it fits into the Rule and its sources (Nr.2). Both his and our horizons of perception are similar in many aspects. In Benedict's time one might think of luxury, easy going life and instability. However, the ideals of endurance and the giving of one's self with all one's energy seems to be falling away. Is community a thing to be desired? Certainly it is, from the point of view of congenial relationships, being supported, enrichment and happiness. Moreover, the opposite of zeal is close to us: so many people live without great ideals, intent merely on getting by in comfort. Benedict would have experienced something similar in the time of the merciless wars of the Goths. We think, for example, of terrorists and their immense, all-consuming energy, filled with hatred and bent on destruction and perhaps we think of anti-terrorist actions, which can become inhuman. We are asking this question today, at a time which is convulsed by evil zeal. What did Benedict mean by this expression ?
