Lately I watched ‘Greed of Man’, an old Hong Kong drama from the 90s probably. There’s an antagonist character inside who seems to be evil but yet innocent. In what way? He seems to be hurting people around him all the time but yet he doesn’t notice about that. He felt he’s doing the best for the other party but the other party thinks the different way.

Initially, I still pity about him, thinking that he’s naïve, causing him to do the wrong things and neglect other people’s feelings. As story goes by, it appears that he’s been ignorant to all his deeds – a man finding excuses for all his wrong doings and always says he’s right. Eventually, he starts to feel that it’s the world which is being mean to him.

Now how many of us behave like this naïve bad guy? I myself for one dare to admit I’m one of them. Most of the time, we did not realize the consequences of our action and when something’s wrong, we tend to find excuse to pamper ourselves, whether blaming it on the luck or destiny. Till to a stage where we still don’t repent, we end up in tragedy, ruining everything. Even worse, we may lie too much to ourselves till that we really believe we’re right all the time.

It’s really pity and despicable to watch such person – pity because he doesn’t realize his wrong doings, despicable because his actions causes miser to others. No wonder Bible claims that all are sinners – some are blindfolded, some aren’t but can’t do anything to change. But I believe no man can be totally evil, just like no man can be totally good and the key to remain harmony with balance is love. And the greatest love is definitely God’s, from the time He created man till the He sent Jesus for all mankind and so forth.

Anyway, the naïve bad guy realized in the end all his wrong doings, repent and changed totally, turning over a new leaf. We should be learn to be so – walk out from our ignorance and realize the fact that we’re sinners and then repent to God. Amen.
