Loans are generally
required to be paid back; favors are often expected to be returned. Some things
are however meant not to be paid back when received. One of them is EVIL for
EVIL.
The concept
of Paying Back is transactional and one of the underlying principles of every
transaction is that value must be exchanged
for value.
Evil has no value; hence it is not fit to
be ‘transacted’.
Every true
transaction must leave each participant better and fulfilled. ‘Trading’ evil leaves others in pain and
anguish; it is bad business to promote evil.
If for some
reasons evil was passed on in the transactions of life, the recipient has one
singular assignment to ensure it is eventually forced out of business: overcome it with good.
Goodness is good business and it ensures
a profitable existence. It’s the kind of value that should be exchanged, every
day and everywhere. In fact, it should be paid back each time it is received.
As much as
we wished for a goodness-filled life, unfortunately, there are people who live
their own lives as if they have been ’anointed’
to cause pain to others. These are peddlers of rumors, sharers of negativity
and custodians of devilish schemes - individuals who run an empire of
wickedness and manage an outfit of vilification.
They are wasters
of the grace of God and are certainly on a count-down to meet their Waterloo if
they do not retract and change.
As with most
things in life, we take time to plan before acting. Using our valuable and
limited time to plan retaliations and pay backs to those who have hurt us is a
waste of time and life. We are to show them a better and higher way to live; we
are to exhibit love and forgiveness.
Evil doers
are losers anyway; we cannot get even with them and become losers too. We are
wiser, stronger and better. We have a mission
to fulfill and cannot submit to a lesser way of living.
It is unwise to be a trader of evil. It
will ruin our noble enterprise.
We cannot be a people that pay evil back with
evil. Evil, whenever and wherever ‘transferred’, should be received with goodness.
No to EVIL;
Yes to GOODNESS!
