Good versus Evil

I thought of something weird today. What if we compare good and evil this way?

If we lead our entire life being evil, in the end, would we be good? To go on, if we lead our entire life being good, in the end, would we be evil?

I have a theory about this…just cooking away in my brain right now.

I’m evil so I do evil things.
Such as: Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth

So now Satan comes up to me and says that he is proud of me and that I can worship him for ever. Ok, now here is the twist. If I am truly evil I would do the opposite just to piss off Satan, right? So I would go and worship God. In the end I become good.

Flip-side
I’m good so I do good things.
Such as: Helping children in troubled or dire circumstances.
Donating blood, feeding the hungry, Donating items to charity, go to church.

So now Jesus comes up to me and smiles. Ok, now here is the twist. If I was truly good this is what I would do. Before Jesus says anything I drop to my knees and ask for forgiveness and I proclaim that Jesus Christ is my savior and that I will worship God always. In the end I would stay good.

So my theory is good will always prevail over evil.

Why we do the things we do?

Why, as a parent, do we lose it with our children? Is it because of the stresses that we deal with day in and day out? Could it be from frustration due to the lack of time that we have in the afternoon? Could it be from anger that is already there due to the failures in our lives? Could it be just plain evil at work in our lives?

I don’t know the answer but I can guarantee you that I have been there too many times. I hate myself for snapping at my son for minor things. The words come out of my mouth straight into the ears of an eight year old boy’s heart. You know the type of words that I’m talking about. As soon as the words roll off the tongue you’re already thinking, why did I say that? Damage is done. You can never take those words back either. You might be able to ease the pain but you can never take them back. Every negative word chips away the self-esteem that they are working so hard to build. I hate myself for being this way. If I knew the answer to the riddle I could change my ways. But with every answer there is another riddle. Would I change, could I change? If I could change how would I change? If I didn’t punish my son would he turn out ok or will he become spoiled? If I didn’t snap would life be different? Spare the Rod Spoil the Child, right? Is this just my problem or is this common amongst other parents? Could it be something from my childhood that is causing me to act out this way?

That’s it; I’ll just blame my parents. Now I feel better about everything.

Feed back is welcome but just don’t give any.
