The Opposites

"The Master said, The gentleman calls attention to the good points in others ; he does not call attention to their defects. The small man does just the reverse of this."

I believe that every matter in this world has both a bad side, and a good side. Like the coin, it has a head, and a tail. Such presence of two opposites makes a matter somehow, neutral. Thus, there is really no 100% good thing, or a 100% bad. That's why one cannot impose a truth that a certain matter is indeed a good thing or a bad one, simply because it's just a matter of perspectives and biases. If one defines a certain matter as good, it doesn't make such matter really good. Maybe, for that person who defines, but not for everybody.

Now, A true person (gentleman) must look to the brighter sides of these things made up of two opposites. Since, no matter how awful such is, it still has a good side that would somehow compensate such downsides. 'Cause again by nature, we people, are good; we are of equal goodness in us. But our practices makes as different; unique, or simply deviant in a way. Simply, as what the Scriptures said: [That] "We are all unique yet fundamentally equal!".

A gentleman prefers to look at the good points because he is thinking for the common good; the good of all. Such of a person sees the bright side of a thing because he knows that everybody will benefit from it. How about the small man? Why do they prefer to look at the defects? This is because they are too selfish and insecure; what they wanted is for their own good only.

Let us all be "gentlemen" of our own ways; So I say to you, be an example you want others to be!
