Between Good and Bad...

This is war!!! You’re right in the middle of it. And choosing sides is going to be an everyday battle.

Have you ever felt like you are in war within yourself? A tug of war between good and evil; A never ending struggle between doing what is right and facing the temptation of human pleasure; A quest for excellence and yet faces failure every step of the way.

Are we good by nature or evil by nature? There is a Chinese saying that says we humans are good by nature. But if that is true, why do we struggle to do the right thing all the time? Worst! We don’t think what we are doing is wrong? No shame, no guilt, no wrong!

Like a child who has leprosy, they can just bite off their figures and use it as a pencil to draw on the walls without feeling any pain and they think its ok.. When they grow older, they will realize that it was a huge mistake, a price they pay for not listening to those who tries to stop them from doing what they were doing. When they grow older, then only they start to regret for all the bad they have done.. to themselves and others (imagine the horror on parents faces to see what their children have done on the walls)..

Yes, no one wish to be born with leprosy; neither do we want to be born, by nature, evil.. But we are and if we do not choose the right side for this never ending war in this world right now. We are going to loose ourselves, our love ones, and most of all our eternal life with the one who loves us most.
