Both in Homeric and in the biblical tradition, self-centeredness is seen as a pathway to losing one’s orientation as well as perception of the meaning of existence. The same is true when people give up their personal, existential relatedness or their bonds towards others and to the world. This inclination can become manifested, by violence and despair. Responding to the call for accountability involves turning (metanoein) away from being oriented to separation, secession, and self-centeredness to relationality, the consciousness of one’s ties with others, the world and the Truth. One can become open to this kind of perception through the word. For being able to answer this word, which calls us to participate in truth, we as humans have the space of freedom. Through the incoming and challenging word – logos – one can find a way out of being locked in oneself. A dia-logue is a living environment, which is also used to describe the activity of God, dia-logue as an element, from which community may arise – a community that does not live solely for itself: The dialogue is living in truth.
