Let’s do a quick test here. Look at this picture below.
What is the first reaction when you look at this photo? Do you find it funny? Did you laugh? I’ll be very honest with you, the first time I looked at it, I instantly burst out laughing.
But you really shouldn’t. In fact, you should feel sorry for that person, because that fall can cause severe injury. This photo has been on the internet for a decade, and I do hope now he’s OK.
I want to share something personal with you. Many people see me as a generous and kind person, but from time to time, I would have intrusive thoughts and have the urge to do something even I know it’s wrong.
For instance, I wanted to see someone fail when they are trying hard. I felt jealous of other people’s success. I might have the urge to gossip. I could be complaining and blaming others when things don’t go into my way.
Probably I can refer that as the dark side of my heart.
There’s no way I’ll follow those mean ideas, but I feel ashamed and guilty just by having those thoughts. I even doubt myself: Maybe I’m not a kind person at all? Or maybe…
