Observations In the Key of Life: Everyone Has A Story To Tell

Humans, being imperfect as they are, more often than not operate out of their own fears and insecurities especially when they do not know God, or the Lord.

As a teacher, I had always read a lot about human behavior and, hungry for honest explanations to fill in nagging questions, was able to relate the people I

knew to the information I read. After a while, I began to see patterns and similarities in what people either did to each other or did for each other. Whatever

our behavior might be, it is done either out of faith or out of fear. Doing something to another emanates from a deep-seated conflict, such as anger, though

anger is not the only driving emotion for unconsciously driven action. Anger is a negative emotion that is both a complex and reflexive act done out of fear.

Acts of fear include anger, but are not limited to greed, lying, manipulating, slandering, enabling, abuse of any kind, infantizing and anything that hurts

someone else. What is purposefully done to hurt another will ultimately hurt the perpetrator far more than anyone else while seemingly operating to protect

the perpetrator. Tragically, what is purposefully done to hurt another will ultimately hurt the perpetrator far more than anyone else. "That which is has

already been, And what is to has already been; And God requires an account of what is past." (Ecclesiastes 3:15)
