As we humans live, breed, and grow we are faced with countless
situations, many or all of which, the path to take becomes a war; a war where
our emotions try to rule as Kings drawn by autocratic beliefs. What is right or
wrong may seem relative to most due to the way the world has turned out now,
but, fundamentally (and according to God's Word), right is RIGHT and wrong is WRONG!
...and, thus, as we are faced such wars on a daily basis we must bear this in
mind during the decision-making process.
The perspective of each and every one of us certainly varies on
probably everything in this world, however, it does not give accedence to any
one person bending the "rules" for personal gain, be it consciously
or unconsciously. If that be the case (which, sadly, it quickly is becoming)
then all rights would be infringed upon greatly. It has always been of my firm
belief that, "...just because you can do something does not mean you should.",
which simply points to the fact that our whims of freedom to do what we want
because we have the ability or desire to does not mean we should actually carry
out those wants to the detriment of others, be it a stranger, family, friends,
or (of most importance) a spouse.
Responsibility is a word toyed with quite often by us all. It
seeks to give us a directive to achieve along with some rules to guide our
completion of it, but, our stubborn desires prefer to be as a river - flowing
where it would regardless of cause or effect. This can be as dangerous a
situation as a flooding that destroys whole cities in a matter of moments. With
such knowledge made readily available you would think that we would be humble
enough to be willing to set aside our personal desires in order that the other
person could have peace in their heart, but no, "I must have what I
want..." tends to be our default resolve... *sigh* ...rather saddening!
Personally, in this quickly deteriorating world, my one
motivation to be a person who makes the right decision with each arising
situation (and, I'm not saying that I always do) is the thought of looking back
on life and having a greater feeling of
regret than pride. Such a feeling cripples my spirit even at just the
simple thought of it.
The decisions we, so comfortably, decide to make in our lives,
regardless of the effect (especially, those that border on dishonesty) are the
very same we would have to live with in the near future, while looking into the
sunken eyes of those we claim to love, especially, that one person we vowed,
before God-and-man, to stay bonded to forever! ...Regret would be too late an emotion then.
