I'm very interested in this from Girard. Looking forward to hearing more on it when you are so inspired. Maybe people do understand it when they are good christians but not enough to put it into words. They simply don't long to be above others or to be recognized, but love to serve and to see others grow.

You are right, on some intuitive level people definitely do get it. And thankfully there have always been people who silently go about serving others without fanfare. That is a eumimesis I can do better to imitate.
And the past few years have given us all a lesson in the possibly less tangible aspects mimetic desire and scapegoating. The whole ugly business surfaced from the depths of its hiding place and now there is this pretence as if it all never really happened like that. But we did see it, and it is good to fathom what that means.
