When you deliberately sinned, do you have the right to be angry about how other people treat you, especially those around you?
One unexpected night, a broken silence started a loud commotion. People angrily answered each other's reasoning, and neither of the two parties did not want to give up. It was a family arguing about the father whose having an affair with another woman. Someone said that witnesses had seen the two together secretly meeting each other in public places. And it was confirmed in the latter by the father itself.
But on that night, everything just exploded, and someone's patience has reached its limit. It's the father, who is now shouting without fail, angrily speaking ill of what his wife has done. He then said that it was an embarrassment that other people knew about it because his wife talked about it to several people. He also added that some of her storytelling was not even true. The two have been fighting quite some time, getting their kids involved. You can hear cries while persistently trying to defend each side. One states it's wrong, and the other says the same.
It seems like a never-ending fight since it lasted more than an hour. And before everything silenced once again, you can hear the father still blaming each of them for how they do not show him respect as their father. He said that he never neglected his duty as the father, although he's doing things like this.
I don't know what else to say, and I don't want to meddle. But deep inside, I feel sorry for the kids and the family. We all remember that this family loves to laugh together before any of these occurred. But today, you can hardly believe that.
Now, I ask again.
When you deliberately sinned, do you have the right to be angry about how other people treat you, especially those around you?
I ask this because I wonder. If you're the root of the cause, what gives you the right to complain? Is it because you still deny the truth? Is it because you can't accept how they see you and the look in their eyes? Or maybe because you feel that they don't have the right to act like that towards you?
Of course, these are just what I think. Probably a one-sided story, believing that it is wrong to feel entitled with this kind of situation. I may be complaining as well and as the same, as I may be criticizing the other. But with this dilemma, who stands righteous?
