She had problems with her husband, she had problems with her 10 years old and she had problems with her family. Everyone avoided her and some avoided her on the face. She wanted to change herself especially when her 10-year-old started avoiding her. She tried making an effort and still it was not happening. Somewhere she felt a compulsion to do things that were not appreciated. She ended up lying and she ended up manipulating and then it was caught. She wondered why she could not be good?
Well, first thing it is not impossible to change own character just that it will take more efforts and time. How much efforts and time, we cannot define. How long it would take we cannot define. Can we act bad as a compulsive behavior and the answer could be yes. Ravana also knew that he was doing wrong things and he would be killed by two princes and he kept doing. Deep down he knew, he was doing wrong things. Whenever we do wrong things we know it. We may not know the consequences but we know it. Or let’s say, we know the consequences but we may not realize it.
So do we act bad even if we know it’s bad?
God created both good and evil. It is in contrast. If there is no bad, how would we know what is good and what is bad? We also have both good and bad. But sometimes, doing bad seems very easy and comfortable. Like talking bad about people, not helping others, doing little dishonest things, lying. However, eventually, all the things will start shaping up to our character. Our line of good and bad will dissolve. Somewhere we would accept the bad and we would create an answer that being bad is ok and then being bad is good. But in reality it’s not.
How do we shift?
Take a decision. Set your intentions. Pray and have faith. Keep moving and keep doing.
So is it a blessing?
Of course. Good deeds, good thought process bring a good result. Will create a path for the good life. If to be believed, even after that. So it is a blessing, if we have a good character and we are able to do good things.
