detrimental actions. (post from another chapter, October 13, 2010)

We do things today that we never thought would have harmful effects tomorrow. Restating, there are things today that we are aware could have harmful effects tomorrow, yet we still continue doing it. How come? Is it part of being an imperfect entity? Is it part of being a human being that is very vulnerable of mistakes? Or are we just so arrogant that we think we could face the consequences?

What we always cling upon even, is that we feed on the sweet words of those around us. Words that only bring illusions; speaking about hidden opportunities like God has other plans, or “closed doors and opened windows”. These are treasures and hopes for those who failed, but not for those who failed because it’s their fault to begin with. Words of encouragement only feed us false hopes and dreams that are yet to be failed. Seems bitter enough, but true in its sense. People who made mistakes in the process don’t deserve to be given false encouragements, for it would only make them weaker, dependent on what others call destiny or "God’s way". Yes, God has plans for us, but how will we be able to fulfill those plans if we would just again fail it? Saying God has a plan could only be honestly told to those who did not want trouble to meet them, those who did their best but yet failed. But for those who failed for they did not look straightforward to their objective cannot be told that God willed it, for it’s cause  they willed to fail.


We make actions that we are aware could bring us harm and worry, so we should know how to face them for it’s a byproduct of our mischief to begin with. What we can do is to change, not to depend on the comforts of God, for He won’t favor on that. What He will be pleased to know, is that we learn from our faults and act as soon as possible, with our faith directed towards Him.
