Living in where we are now and the era we are in has perhaps set a certain trend or standard that we think we ought to follow. We thought this might be the right way?
So, what is right? Everyone has different views on what is right. You and I maybe different or if not, the same. What makes me think that I'm right and he is wrong? He has his own view and I have mine so who is right? All views are affected slightly or if not more due to many reasons. Lifestyle, Fashion, Places, Food, Peer pressure, Environment, certain Circumstances or even Situation we met had cause us consciously or not, to follow what we think maybe right.
The very first man falls because of pride. They saw the apple was good. Pleasing to the eyes. " Just an apple..come on" They follow what they think maybe right. Forgetting what their dear Lord had said, the actual right way. Here's where we begin. The Fall of Man and sin reaching into the world.
Haven't we learnt the lesson? Should we follow what we think maybe right, it wouldn't be more right'er than what our dear Lord think.
Then there are others who first implement what they think is right then put God's name in it. Shouldn't it be the other way round? Why don't we place ourselves in humility and listen to what others are going to say instead of giving our very own views or even opinions. We all learn. Sometimes, giving our very own opinion(s) may not be the right alternative. God gave us two ears, one mouth. Listen attentively and speak wisely.
Learn as time goes by to listen more and giving less comments or advices. It makes the other party feels that you're understandable and in return, we'll understand the other party more. Listen first. Listen to the whole story. Listen to the cries. Listen to all and then speaks wisely, with love.
