#wrong doing

[mvaljean525]

There is no death.—The death-deep awful gloom We see and dread Is not the real invincible fog-fume Round the death-bed.

There is no death, no darkness. All is light. The deepest gloom Is not the murk impenetrable night Around the tomb.

There is a deeper darkness than the dark Where no stars beam: A blackness where not one most faint star-spark Can ever gleam.

Wrong-doing is death, and this alone is death. Death is sent there That we may shiver at his ice-cold breath And, shuddering, fear:

But fear not him, but his similitude— The death more deep Than ever mortal dreamed, the death more rude Than deathlike sleep.

The death we, and we only, can create; The death we bring By fraud and selfishness and wrath and hate And misdoing.

This is the eternal death. The other death Is just a change, A sudden dreamlike passage underneath A process strange.

And all that gives it horror, steeps in gloom Earth's golden springs, Is but a symbol of the eternal doom Wrong-doing brings.

You are not seeking truth, with integrity. You are just seeking a mask, for your wrong deed; to cover it, to justify it.

Armaan . Your justification is not the truth, it can not ever be.

We tend to think that doing wrong is sin. But James tells us that sin is also not doing right. (These two kinds of sin are sometimes called sins of commission and sins of omission.) It is a sin to lie; it can also be a sin to know the truth and not tell it. It is a sin to speak evil of someone; it is also a sin to avoid him or her when you know he or she needs your friendship. We should be willing to help as the Holy Spirit guides us.

“In thinking of America, I sometimes find myself admiring her bright blue sky — her grand old woods — her fertile fields — her beautiful rivers — her mighty lakes, and star-crowned mountains. But my rapture is soon checked, my joy is soon turned to mourning. When I remember that all is cursed with the infernal actions of slaveholding, robbery and wrong, — when I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disregarded and forgotten, and that her most fertile fields drink daily of the warm blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing.” ---- Frederick Douglass, Frederick Douglass: Selected Speeches and Writings ---- Graphic - Giacomo Balla

Whenever you see someone doing wrong, guide and instruct them to do the right thing. Think about when to tell them, where to tell them, what to tell them and how. Usually it is easier to have difficult discussions after a meal. Do not speak harshly, but stay calm and show self control. Keep God always in mind. It will be wise to have an idea about you are going to say before hand and avoid words that will cause anger and the discussion to get out of hand.
