Angel vs Devil


This was the topic which I had for my weekly mandatory e-journal entry this week. Unlike others who are definitely going to write about the happenings of the week, I decided to go the unconventional way by writing about something more about life. Here's how it goes, roughly. By the way, it was intended for my sergeant to read.

Everyone, including commanders, has an angel and devil in them. The angel will always tell them to do things which are morally correct while the devil urges them to do stuff that are politically right. When one listens to the angel, he will feel naturally happy and satisfied. When one listens to the devil, he thinks that he is somewhat guilty yet prides himself for doing something justifiable.

An example would be drawing a line, I did not specify if it is from an artistic or philosophical point of view. The devil will tell you to draw lines so that the overall image would look neat and tidy. However, somebody who is inexperienced or new at drawing lines might end up drawing crooked ones thus making the whole picture look unsightly.

The angel will tell you not to draw any lines. This would allow the paper to be blank and pure as it originally is. You can draw any picture you like on the paper without having to worry if it bisects any line.

If you did draw lines in the first place, chances are you might need an eraser for alterations. However, no matter how hard you erase, there will still be a little trace that a line was ever drawn before. So, the most favourable solution for us should be to listen to our angels most of the time.

Good will always triumph over evil.
