What We Deserve.

People fail you,

you fail people too.

We tend to forget this.

Do you remember

the last time you failed somebody?

Regret.

Pain.

Anxiety.

'Will she forgive me?

Will she talk to me again?

Will she give me another chance?'

We are wired

to desire

Reconciliation.

And because of that,

we Hope 

to find strength for tomorrow otherwise,

life becomes meaningless.

Do you recall the joy

of being given forgiveness?

Many times, 

you know you 

didn't deserve 

it.

But you 

need 

forgiveness.

Who could survive

a life like a courtroom? 

each mistake you make,

you are arrested 

and found guilty.

The person you fail 

sits at the judgement seat,

his eyes

ice cold.

'Listen to me, please.

I'm so sorry, 

I won't do it again.' 

you plead.

The judge, 

grimace and thunder words

that strike and wring your heart,

'It's too late.

You don't deserve my pardon.'

And he pass his judgement,

'GUILTY!

You cannot be forgiven.'

Now,

you are officially executed

from that person's life.

Hope is never considered.

All ties are severed.

In his eyes,

you are the criminal

who doesn't deserve 

another chance.

In this courtroom,

how can Love exist

when there is no 

Mercy and hope?

In this courtroom,

the end is always

death sentence.

We often see ourselves

as the convict - 

the pitiable victim

bullied by merciless judges

in our lives.

But have you considered

that 

you could be

the brutal judge

in somebody else's life?
