hao ren, huai ren

i'm beginning to think that humans really do exist in these two forms.
perhaps its not as distinct as what we see in tv shows;
and i truly believe, that in most cases in real life, the huai rens aren't all that huai as others make them out to be.

have you ever considered the following:

the true reasons of intentions behind actions- like a mother caning her child, her very own flesh and blood... at this age, we all know that's out of concern of a mother wanting her child to learn from his mistake. we probably never believed that when we were young. and the same thing applies here- we don't know why some people do the things they do. perhaps they're misunderstood, or they don't know how to express themselves in ways that people can comprehend and accept?

the extent of putting their personal benefits before others- which human doesn't fend for themselves or want the best for the ones they love? but how far would they go? would they inconvenient others, or even harm others, so that things would go their way, whether its a trivial or serious matter?

the process of getting to your final destination- when it turns into an obsession, you forget what the chase was all about. you're overwhelmed by the progress, enticed by money and power. you forget what you really wanted at the beginning of it all.

we all need reminders now and then.
even being a human, we need to check and review ourselves from time to time so make sure that we're on track.

most people are oblivious to this.
but when they become aware, and when you do justify what they’ve done, don't they deserve a chance?
but then again, how would you know that they would turn over a new leaf?
do they realise that they've been the huai ren before and do they want to become a hao ren?
or they simply can’t be bothered?

karma should not exist to make people suffer
but to make people learn from their past mistakes so that they avoid committing them again.

it's a pity it doesn't seem to work this way.
i honestly hate to see people's ignorance or refusal to see that they brought some things upon themselves, but blame it on other people or luck.

god really does work in mysterious ways.
