Huang's Theory of Devolution

First God created humans.

When some humans start becoming nasty and behave uncivilized like apes, they devolved into apes.

Then some got even nastier and they became pigs.

And some ass-kisser became dogs. And some real nasties became roaches

And the dumbest ugliest nastiest people became bugs.

And the low-lives went to live in a pond.

Most leaders and politicians are corrupt lot.

Most people at the top i.e. politicians and CEOs don't just get there by their own merit.



They bribe their way, eliminate their competitors using unscrupulous methods, backbite, butter up the bosses , making use of others, making threats ,trampling others in order to get to the very top.

Because of intense competition, it's hard for even a talented person to make it to the top on their own merit.

Should you forgive those who wronged you?



The answer is Yes.

But what is actually forgiveness?

Should you forgive and take no action against the perpetrator(s) ?

The answer is No.

Forgiveness means you do not hold grudge against that person. But it is your duty to report to the authorities if a crime has been committed. If you do not report it, you are disobeying your country's criminal code.

A crime committed against you is considered a crime committed against the society and country.

You do not forgive and forget a person who raped your daughter or murdered your loved ones. You may eventually not hold a grudge against him personally but it is your duty to report this crime to the authorities!

OK. Those are crimes listed in your country's criminal code. But what about non-criminal wrongs?

If a wrong has been committed against you,
  • take the lawful and rightful action e.g. make a complaint or report against the perpetrator(s).
  • demand that the perpetrator(s) apologise or make amend or compensation
  • if he refuses, downgrade your relationship with him e.g. 
    • not being his friend, 
    • not on talking terms with him, 
    • do not give him any cooperation etc.
  • If he apologizes and make amends,
    • do not forgive him immediately
    • tell him that he is under observation for a period of time
    • tell you will only forgive him if he does not repeat his mistakes
Do not make it easy for him to get away with his mistakes. You need to send a strong message to him that you are very unhappy with his actions/behavior.

Why?
  • We want to make him think about the consequences of his actions/behavior
  • We want him to think hard and think twice before attempting doing it again against us or others
  • We are teaching him an invaluable lesson on how to live with others in a harmonious society
  • We do not want him to think that his wrongs against us is nothing
  • We do not want him to think that such wrongs are easily forgiven and forgotten.

May can also mean May Not

May can also mean May Not , Could may also mean Cannot.

We always read "xxx may cure yyy" , "aaa could be the bbb in future"

These are merely slogans that trumpet the opposite to the norm , just to catch our eye-attention.

By saying "may" , a person need not be responsible for his statement if it turns out to be untrue.

"Well , i didn't say definite . i just said May which can turn out to be May Not"

Almost anything may be something else but chances for those are slim.

So maynots are like 99.99999% and mays are like 0.000001%

Sneaky !
