What Do You Know
About the Man?

is not a one-time decision or event.
It's something you have to choose
every day."
Along those same lines, we should not assess a man's character based on a microscopic examination of a one-time act of his.
Instead, it is imperative that we base our evaluation upon a collection of evidence we gather through the long lens that reveals the pattern of his behavior throughout his life.
There is a difference between a man who commits an unforgiveable act and a man of unforgiveable character.
What matters is not what people have done but who they are.
A man might go through his entire life never putting a foot
wrong, and do nothing outward to which the world would vociferously object, and
yet that same man might be rotten to the core, full of self-righteous pride, hate
in his heart and never once providing for others but only himself.
Another man might, yes, stumble and fall -- and do so in a very embarrassing and shameful way. Yet, other than that one poor decision and awful action that he grieves over and has apologized for a hundred times,
this man's lifetime -- when examined wholly -- has been defined as one of endless self-sacrifice and service to his family and community.
You tell me, who is the "better" man whose company you'd prefer to keep?Terry's Monthly MeditationsDecember
