What is the difference between “Truth or Consequences” and “Truth and Consequences”? The article will tell you the distinction.
One day as I was going back home after a long one year of work to avail of the yearly vacation I have, I met one of my long lost friend in the international airport where we were both waiting for the time to go in for the checking and boarding. He happened to be somehow a bit upset of the reality of life he has about the amount of pain that enter his life. I will not tell it here the details of his story for some of my friends are going to read this and to protect the person, it is better to make him anonymous. But we can learn from his story.
I will just share to you a story that is similar to my friend’s experience so that we can learn from the wisdom of life from this story. A pastor one day met a guy in an international airport also where they were both nursing their frustration with air travel. They spent most of the day waiting for planes that were never arrived, so they had plenty of time for conversations. The guy happened to be spitting mad at God for allowing what he though trials and circumstances he can’t carry. Since the pastor had plenty of time he said to the guy, “Why don’t you tell me your life story?” The guy was glad to oblige the pastor by unloading his self-pitying saga. What the guy had not counted on was the pastor is listening as closely as he can.
When the guy finished complaining and indicting God for everything that had gone wrong in his life which is exactly similar as to my friend’s experience, the pastor said, “Wow, that is quite a story, but the pastor said, could I ask you a couple of questions? You said your former wife turned into a horrible, evil person. I wonder what your relationship with her was like before she turned evil. How did you treat her? Were you faithful to her? Or did you, perhaps, do some stupid things that might have added a little bit to the demise of your marriage? He admitted that he had done a few stupid things.
