It is the "divine" to which we are called though. And if we are called it is possible?
I am of the opinion that Jesus is a progression from Aristotle's point in understanding  "civil - ization". Aristotle described what made neighbourhood, city, (polis/politics) necessary and possible: the elemental "friendship" of recognized and acknowledged mutual inter-dependence. He described its continuity, its intensity to that of  ethics, politics, "love": a "mutual benevolence, mutually known". Love, does not depart from its baseline in civility but takes it beyond, further. Jesus takes it a long step further to that described by Pope Francis - unrequited as peer but elevated in its mutuality, its "return" from Creator. He calls for the divine to now be the human. Jesus the philosopher. Redemption is the other side of the same coin: making the human divine. 
Without civility there is no neighbourhood, no "civil - ization". Someone has to step up. 
I Cor. 13, is so hard.
The question is how.
