Evil often triumphs over good in our today's world, why is it so?
Whatever you sow, that you will reap..... Yeah! It's a popular saying, but do people really believe in it? Do you live your life knowing that what you do has consequences?
If most of us believe that every action is a seed that will germinate and bear fruits, then why do people still plant evil seeds?
Why are cruelty and selfishness ruling our world? Why the brutal killings? Why the racism? Why the oppression? Why do humans behave as if they have total control over the affairs of this life? Why the pride and arrogance? Why the backstabbing and betrayal? Why the hatred? Why the envy?
Why are religions spreading so fast, but humanity is falling deep into the ditch of wickedness and unbelievable atrocities?
People work for the government and are owed up to 10 months salaries. Citizens are maimed and killed by the government that was meant to protect them. The affluent treat others like they are lesser humans.
People don't give a damn about the outcome of their actions as long as they will gain from it, It doesn't matter what effect it has on others.
Each time I walk around and see the extremely poor and oppressed in my country, I cry in my heart. Nigeria is a very wealthy country that has enough resources to take care of her citizens, but the wealth is in the hands of only a few politicians who without conscience siphoned public funds into their personal pockets.
When I consider all these things, I keep wondering if there's a God watching while all these things are happening. I also suspect that not everyone looking like a human is truly human.
Sometimes I feel like I'm on the wrong planet. I am not perfect, no...not even close to being perfect, but I have never shut my bowels of mercy to the needy and oppressed around me.
Something happened to me today that makes me believe I still have a touch of humanity in me and I encourage everyone to live by this. My sister called me today asking for financial help. At first, I didn't want to give her my money for two reasons;
The first one is, I do not have spare money to give out for now because I spent so much for medical treatments when I was sick and I desperately need to complete the money for my housing accommodation.
The second reason is that, when I started blogging on steemit, I told all my siblings about it but none of them agreed to join. They do call me asking for money when they know that more than 60% of my income comes from my activities here. They prefer begging for fish instead of learning to fish by themselves.
It's true that I have enough reason why I should not give her the money, but when I noticed she needed it for something very important, I gave it to her.
Why did I tell this story? What do I want you to learn from it?
Sometimes, people deserve the harsh treatment they receive. They do things that warrant the oppression, maiming and even killings, but if we can allow mercy and love to prevail, we wouldn't give them the treatment that they deserve.
Paying them back in their own coin will only lead to recycling of evil deeds.
When we learn how to pay good for good and extend the goodness to the bad, we'll break the circle of evil. Evil will no longer prevail. The bad will one day be compelled to return the goodness and Our world will not be completely free from evil, but it will no longer be ruled by it.
Evil thrives because we merely profess karma without believing in its authenticity. If we truly believe its existence, then we would not do anything evil, even when it seems justified.
Break the cycle of evil around you today. Do good to everyone including those who do not deserve your good deeds.
