because after a game of chess
the king and the pawns are tossed into the same box."

Well, that sure clipped the air-bag wings of my young friend... Yup, an air-bag! Mahangin; ka-irita. But casting irritation aside, I think I can understand the little fella.
You see, a lot of history, perhaps in great measure negatively, went into that person which now created who he is. Everybody has a story, everybody is a story. Your history is you. What happens to you... how people affected or influenced you.. your reactions to situations, things, places, people.. your successes and failures.. your impressions, preferences, choices and decisions, perceptions, beliefs, fears, expectations, frustrations, bias and prejudices, pet peeves, etc. All these make up or contribute to the person that you are. You are a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
To this my other friend quipped 'Well then, I'll say that there are no bad people - just bad personal stories or histories..' That certainly is one to think about.
I remember it said -- God created us good; He doesn't make junk. So if we turn out jerks in life --- that is something we do to ourselves.
Hope you're all having a pleasant week. Blessings!

ReplyDeleteThere cannot be a truer statement!!
Hi KP! How did your day go today? I hear the weather's quite hot there now. So is it too over here although the weatherman talks of occasional thunderstorms. To break the heat wave and for some cool relief supposedly ..but disappointingly it doesn't always end that way. It only gets even hotter after the brief rains pass.
