We all
have that evil or bad person in our lives. The one we hate to the core for the
evilness we have seen in him/her. They would almost never do the right thing!
It’s just surprising to see how people can even talk to a person so mean! Well,
here is a story that may explain it…
Long long
ago, God declared that survival of the fittest will be the law of nature. It
was the word that the newly created beings, called humans will decide the fate
of all the worlds now. Just like all species, a Demi God was to be appointed to
guide humans. The Supreme God called two of the best Demi Gods, Bagood &
Eviangle, and asked them how they would guide humans to eternal happiness. Both
the Demi Gods presented their ideas before the Supreme God. Here is a shortened
translation of their arguments:
Bagood’s
Argument
Oh,
Supreme God, the knower of all, humans are the finest species created by You
since the Demi Gods. They deserve nothing but the best. I can provide unlimited
offensive power to humans. I will make them the master of cognitive powers of
mind. They, with their supreme knowledge will win over all odds and create a
better world for all.
I will
teach them to learn from each other in all scenarios. They will be able to fend
off any potential danger to them & their loved ones even before it happens!
I will teach them the value of a small sacrifice to gain something so much
better! Not only will they keep the world safe, but will make life more
comfortable for all!
Eviangle’s
Argument
Oh
Supreme God, the most loved by all, humans are the most creative & artistic
beings ever created by You. I can provide them strength of unity to defend
themselves from anything. I will make them the master of emotional powers of
mind. They with their artistic abilities will make the world more beautiful
than ever!
I will
teach them to see the beauty in all things that happen. They will turn all that
happens to them into something better for the whole world. I will teach them
not to give up on something that they love for the greed of something better!
They will bring about peace, harmony & love not
just among themselves, but to all in the world!
There was
a long discussion that followed among the advisers of the
Supreme God. There was no consistent view as to who should be given the
authority to guide humans. Finally, the Creator of all gave a decision.
Supreme
God’s Decision
Bagood,
the God of cognitive powers & Eviangle, the God of emotional powers, you
both have contributed so much in the creation of humans. It gives me immense
pleasure to see how much my children can prosper under your philosophies. On
the other hand, it hurts me to see them leave any of you. None of you is unfit
for any situation. It’s not possible for Me to decide who is better. Hence, my
children, until I am able to decide, humans, shall prosper under both of you!
I
hereby declare that from this moment onward, both of you will guide humans
in their quest. Bagood, you will have the left part of the mind while Eviangle,
you will reside in the right part. I leave it up to humans to choose who to
listen to. Also, I shall reside in all humans helping them decide who to listen
whenever they need Me.
Since
then, the argument has shifted from the court of Supreme God to all the human
minds. We all are so many times in a fix whether to listen to our emotional
mind (which we sometimes call heart) or to listen to our cognitive mind (which
we sometimes call brain). Well actually it really doesn't matter what
we listen to. We always lose something and retain something. And since the God
in us helps us choose, we can't go wrong.
However,
what does matter is that we understand others. No one is actually evil or bad.
Sometimes on a decision, we want to follow Bagood. If the other person follows Eviangle,
we consider him/her Evil, but if he follows Bagood, we
consider him/her Good. Similarly, sometimes we may want to follow Eviangle. If
the other person follows Bagood,
we consider him/her Bad, but if he follows Eviangle, we
consider him/her to be an angle!
We need
to understand nobody is same. We have often heard Good & Bad or Evil &
Angel are two sides of the same coin. Just because somebody follows the other
school of thought, doesn't mean he/she is Bad or Evil. How can we
decide who is right if even the Supreme God couldn't ?! Yes, we must
always fight for what we feel is right, for it is the God in us who told us so,
but we should also keep in mind that the other person also has a God in him/her
who may be telling otherwise!
Next time
you find yourself arguing with someone, try to see the two Demi Gods along with
the Supreme God in you and the other person. It may not solve the problem, but
would sure lighten up the scene! :)
