So Buffy and I had quite a deep conversation yesterday ( as we always do on other days haha). But the topic last night was interesting!
Buffy was recounting hte many times he saw his 2 yr-old nephew Ethan and his toddler cousin Shannon fighting, refusing to share their toys, kicking each other when angry etc.
Now that he has met my cousin Wilfred ( over grandpa’s funeral in Ipoh), I told him that Wilfred and I also fought each other when we were younger. I was the stronger one, I pinched him, pulled his ears.. and refused to to share my toys with him. I recall this incident very clearly; it was my brother Hansel’s year old birthday party.. Wilfred and family came to celebrate with us and i told Wilfred ” You cannot eat my brother’s cake because it’s my cake.. Boo Boo”.
We are all born selfish. How else would a 2 year old kid know not to share toys with others? I am sure our parents taught us from the very beginning to share things but yet when we are young, we find it so hard to share – the feeling that we will lose out to others if we did. It’s all innate in us.
Thats why the gospel of Christ is very accurate in teaching us the truths of life. We are all born sinners. We need God to cleanse us from our sins. Only Jesus can lead us to everlasting life.
