For thousands of years of our world's tradition, the majority always rules. The common people decide, and the few are left behind. From the crucifixion of Christ on the cross to the election of most of today's world's leaders in their presidency, it's always the majority of votes that becomes the cause. The excellent choice is the choice of the common people. But can we indeed rely on the will of the common people? Well, to answer that question, I have enumerated some facts that describe the common people.
Fact 1: Lying is common to people.
Fact 2: Majority of the people crave money and fame.
Fact 3: The majority of the people are proud.
Fact 4: The common people lack patience.
Fact 5: True love is rare to common people.
Fact 6: Wisdom is uncommon to people.
Those facts are facts, and we can't deny them.
Life is a decision to make. It is a gate to enter and a way to walk. There are two kinds of decisions a person can make. These are the hard decision and the easy decision. In most cases, the hard choices are the right decisions, but most people do not choose these because of their hardships—most people like the ease and hate sacrifices. That's why they fail in their lives.
One example of a hard decision is to love genuinely. True love is full of sufferings and sacrifices. Because of this, most people avoid true love. They avoid love to avoid pains. But what they don't realize is that they are preventing the greatness and righteousness of life. Difficulty makes life real life, and true love makes life a great life.
In life, there are also two kinds of gates we must choose to get in. There is a wide gate that most people enter because of its effortlessness and convenience. There is also a narrow gate which only a few enter because of its difficulties and sacrifices. The wide gate offers comfort, fortune, and fame. In the wide gate, there are almost no rules and laws to be followed. You can lie, boast, and you can wear anything or nothing at all. It's such a majestic and decorative gate. It's colorful like casinos and nightclubs. That is why many people are attractive and enter the wide gate.
On the other hand, the narrow gate is full of pain. That is why only a few people enter it. These people are the ones who are god-fearing, enduring, and humble. They are the persons who are well disciplined and possess the virtue of honesty and kindness. We must choose the right gate for our souls. We must pass on the right way for the survival of our souls. We must belong to the few people who enter into the narrow gate. We must become great and inherits true life, and eventually inherits the kingdom of our Almighty God.
Nonetheless, the choice is still yours. Where would you want to enter? The wide gate which offers effortlessness? Or the narrow gate which offers difficulties?
