A woman repeated a bit of gossip about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole community knew about the story. The person it concerned was deeply hurt and offended. Later, the woman resposible for spreading the rumor learned that it was COMPLETLY UNTRUE. She was very sorry and went to a sage(A wise old man) to find out what she could do to repair the damage.

"Go to the market place." he said, "and purchase a chicken, and have it killed. Then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road." Although surprized by this peculiar advice, the woman did what she was told.

The next day the wise man said, "Now go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me."

The woman followed the same road, but to her dismay the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. "You see", said the old sage, "it's easy to drop them, but it's impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip, and hurting the feelings of a neighbor. It doesn't take much to spread a rumor and make someone hurt, but once you do, you can never undo the wrong.

Human Nature

There is no doubt that Humans are the best and highest form of masterpiece ever made in the history of time itself. They are too logical that they are going deep into revealing uncharted secrets of this universe. They are indeed a unique beings, a being of almost perfect characteristics.  But I definitely hate HUMAN NATURE, it is too complicated to understand. Their foundations of their personality can't sometimes be explained using the LOGIC and reasons that they themselves created. 

One concrete example that I can give that I hate about human way of thinking is that NOBODY, yes, no one wants to accept the fact that in every aspect of life one will always be "good" and the other just came to be "better", and they call it LOSING. No body wants to admit mistakes, they always think that at some point they are being cheated. They define cheating as "something against", they don't mean cheating as unfair. Anything that is againts them is what they assume to be unfair, but whenever unfairness is on their side and they benefit from it, they don't mind being not fair. They don't seem to understand the word "accept" or "learning from mistake"; these are a few of the words they had created, but they aren't following the meaning that they have assigned to these words. 

They say being human is to be logical. Now those HUMANS that are reading this, here's a logic for you: If humans are logical, and humans do things for unacceptable reasons(w/c is in effect being illogical), then are humans really HUMAN? I my self is a HUMAN being which is probably the worst embarassing fact that I must accept. 

I'll leave this without conclusion, for you to reflect and understand. Do you hear what our Creator is trying to tell us? If you could just LISTEN.
