Who is bad and who is good?

Shalom my fellow brothers and sisters.

My sharing today is on what I got from watching the movie Shaolin starred by Andy Lau, Jackie Chan and more. Initially I thought that the reason for me to watch the movie is solely for the kung fu action inside. But after went through the movie, experiencing the moral of the story from this movie, I was really touched.

The story started with an army general (Andy Lau) who stops at nothing in order to achieve his ambition all the states in China. The character of the general is totally negative, filled with greed, anger, and he even kill people inside the Shaolin temple (which suppose to be holy place).

Betrayal, is another thing in this story. How the general's second man (the one he trusted) betrayed him during his plan to betray his sworn brother (betrayal above betrayal). What we give, we get back.

This is the part when the general's life become up side down. He was beaten up. His wife is missing. His daughter died. During that time, he ended in the place where he messed up before, Shaolin Temple. Normally, human will have vengeance on others. "You treat me good, I will treat you 100 times good. But if your treat me bad, I will counter with 100 times bad". That is typical human thinking. But what happen is, the Shaolin monk helped the general and ignoring all the bad things he had done to them. One slap on the general's mind.

Turning point. The general decided to join the Shaolin monks. Repented. Doing good deeds. Thinks even better than the other monks who had been living in the temple for years. The leader of the monk did say that, to judge anothe human is not human job. Every human was born with good things inside them. Before this, the general is the most cruel human but now, he has change...

Same goes to us. We normally put brand on other people whenever we look at them doing bad things. We will never know, those who we say bad may one day turn out to be a better good person compare to us. I am not saying that we are bad than others. I just want to point out that we human must see the good side of other human. Do good deeds. Help those in need sincerely. If you see other people are "lost", guide and help them. Not just condemning them. Those who condemning others are those who are condemning themselves. So, be careful when you are talking bad about others.

Let's think about it.
