To Be Simple


Does a person entitle for a 2nd chance? What could have a person done until he doesn't deserve a second chance? This article could go like this... 'our Father has given His only Son to save us. No matter how big our sins are, He forgives... bla bla'. That is what we should do according to the highest standard of kindness, but can we? Or sometimes, do we want to?

When we watch a movie, we often scream in our heart, why don't you just tell her/him? You both know that you love each other, so please just let it go ok? Just tell the truth, just forgive her. Most of the time, to make the movie longer, the actor/actress didn't do that. But I think we often do the same things. Why it is so hard to be simple? What holds us back?

Every day, we try to be the best person we could be and many times this thing makes our life becomes more complicated than it should be. Life is complicated, I agree with this, but if the cause of the complication is because we fail to be simple, we will live a complicated and foolish life.
Our religion already offers a concept that to life is to suffer. So I think it is wise not to make this life harder.

A very good friend of mine once ever told me that she could not imagine how to hate a person for the rest of her life. Does she mean that we actually could change the question from "Does a person deserve a 2nd chance?" to "Do you want to give that person a second chance?"
Again... why is it so hard to be simple?
