Short story: Halo of badness, taint of sin

Tweet

Everything created has a good side, and a bad side. Rain can be constructive for crops, but sometimes too much rain is destructive. Trees can be a beautiful part of nature, but a falling limb can cause a lot of problems, and damage, sometimes. John was at his morning church service, and he was watching the antics of a small boy in the seat in front of him. The boy was bad, and perhaps all children have this streak of badness in them too, John thought to himself. They are all inclined/set-up to be bad, unless their parents have properly trained them not to give in to the evil inclination in them. The boy's mother was standing up singing, and the boy got her bible from the seat where it was placed by her side. He balanced it on its side, and placed it directly behind her. At the end of the song, she sat down on it, squashing it up nastily. The boy sniggled, thinking that it was a great joke. John just philosophised to himself how all children are bad, and need to be taught what is good with right discipline. Without discipline, a child will take the wrong path of badness. We all have both paths in us, good and bad. We need to take the higher path for our life, as it has been designed for us by God to live. All life is inclined to live for itself first, which is bad, but when someone moves away from just their own self living, and become true lovers of life, not just lovers of themselves, in an egoistic way, they only then can become good people, living from love rightly, rather than badly, greedily, nastily, selfishly, just for themselves.
