BOTH ENDS OF THE STICK

For those familair with sticks and also martial arts systems, this analogy may prove of interest in looking at this question of:WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE? If someone, for example, holds a stick and extends it towards you and holds the otehr end so it is in a horizontal plant and asks you to graps the extended end of the stick and you do so, he has 'given you the stick' roughly speaking! Or, as some say, 'the shaft'! THIS 'STICK' is 'LIFE',what you are handed when you are born, when you come into existence, when you set foot into this world, and what you do with this stick and how you 'hold it' is important.....despite its implications... TAKE a stick and label one end 'good' and label the other end 'bad(evil) and when someone hands you such a stick in such a way yoiu cannot see or read the labels, in the manner previously described, you cannot tell which end you hold until you fully hold it in your hand(s). SO IT IS IN LIFE, you may be given the bad end or the good end and what does this ultimately mean? If you continue to hold, say the bad end, and use the stick to do bad things, like attacking the weak and innocent and the helpless, or vice versa, if you have the good end first, what will you do? THE POINT(of the stick) and of this example is that the good end can be used for a bad or evil purpose fi the stick holder wields it to do so. If LIFE is like a stick and yhou control that stick(live life) then you can controle which end you will employ the most, whether for good or evil or both......more on this another time......
