The Pride

Thomas Aquinas - In order to overcome their pride, god punishes certain people by allowing them to fall into the sins of flesh, which even though in actuality before god they are less grievous but in human terms it is more shameful, from this indeed the gravity of pride is made manifest , for just as a wise physician in order to cure the disease allows the patient to contract on lesser one that is less dangerous, so is the sin of pride shown to be more grievous by the very fact that has a remedy god allows some people fall into lesser sins in order to waken them to the deeper sin of pride.

Judge not, that you be not judged.” Matthew 7:1

Once there lived a Father and Son , who had a lovely horse and one day the horse ran away into the jungle. Having noticed this a neighbor who lived by his house side, said to this Father, isn't it a bad luck that your lovely horse ran away from your home. The man replied " Who knows - Let's wait & See".

After some days the horse came back home with 7 other wild horses and the neighbor who watched this came again and said " it’s a good luck" that you have now 8 horses. The Man replied" who knows - Let's wait & see".

Few days later one of the 7 wild horses kicked his son and broke his leg. The neighbor again came and said isn't it a very bad luck that your son got severe injury because of this wild horse. The man replied" who knows- Let's wait & see".

As the days rolled on, the government passed a decree to the citizens of that country to have the young men join the army mandatory from each home. All the citizens were worried because of this law as they would have to live away from their sons. Then the military guards came visiting of each home to pick the able bodied young men. When they visited this fathers home they left his son because of his broken leg. The neighbor who watched this came and said it’s a very good luck to you as you have the privilege of living with your son when the whole country lose their loved ones. The man replied " who knows- Let's wait & See".

From this story what we could comprehend is, with one episode you cannot conclude the end of life and we need to wait for the story to complete. Similarly I see many in this world are worried about the series of WHY Questions albeit we have answers - (answers shall be covered in next title)

• Why god created this world?
• why God allow evil to exist in this world?
• Why God didn’t stop killing each one against each?
• Why God wanted HIM to worship ? Etc… and Many more with the continuing list of why questions-

Rather if we believe in the GOD who called us and live faithfully as per his oracles , we would see the climax of this human race and universe and that day it is no doubt that we would rejoice with the savior for ever and ever worshiping him all the time.

Be kind and slow to judge Your faithful servant,

    for compared to You, no one is truly just - Ps 143

And if you judge the Law, you are not a practitioner of the Law, but a judge of it - James 4 : 11
