The other side of wrong

I guess life is inclining more toward the wrong side these days. Questions like "What's wrong with him, her and the world?" or "What did I do wrong?" often pop up in our daily conversation. On the other hand, good things seems to fade away in silence.

Debugging was one of my daily routine through out my Uni lifes. Spending those hours trying to locate the bugs in my program (I was an IT student back then) has made me into a super-critical monster when dealing with mistakes. Believe me, this would happen to you after searching thoroughly for days; only to find a mislocated comma. I believe everyone must've experienced these kind of quest just as simple as looking for an error in a calculation.

Watching the 'Bones' TV series yesterday, I was so touched by the reality that even a dog could manage to only see the good side of a person. The episode was about a dog named Ripley, who simply follow his master's order to attack another person. That person died and ironicallyRipley was put down. The intriguing part is the fact that his owner raise Ripley for a dog-fighting show, sew his wound carelessly only to put him in another dog fight and yet he loves him until the end.

And that's exactly how God sees the good in us no matter how we mistreat Him. So when will we start looking at the other side of wrong? Lets do our best to only see the good in people :)

"Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the LORD your God will gather you and bring you back" Deutronomy 30:4

Never Mind

Brothers love, brothers hurt
Sisters encourage, sisters dissapoint

How many of us have ever been dissapointed or hurt by our loved ones? The more we love them, the deeper the impact.

Me, myself has quite a forgiving personality. If someone run into me or step on my feet, I would sincerely say "never mind". When a waiter brought a dish which was not exactly what I've ordered, I'd still generously offer my "never mind". In short, I am the type of person who never mind those who jump the queue in front of me.

Lucky are those passerby in my life, coz I ain't that forgiving to those aren't. "They should understand me more!" "They should know me better!" Such thoughts keep pumping my adrenalin, turning those little incidents or misunderstanding unto unforgiving acts..

Never mind is the word we normally offer to passing-by people in our lives. But this word doesn't seem popular when it comes to those who stay permanently on our sides. I wonder how much 'never mind' stock God has, considering how naughty and unthoughful we are. Furthermore I wonder how could we offer such a tiny sum to the ones we love...
