… and what is the big deal about red? Why not blue, green, yellow or black? I don’t know but they hate red, some have suggest that bulls are colour blind, they don’t hate red, it is the matador’s cape that irritates them. Well I don’t really know and at some level I don’t care, all I know is that something sends the bull into a mad rage be it the colour red or the cape. In my opinion, it is only a fool that stands in a cage waving a red cape at a bull trying to rationalise why the fury, he or she will have a long time on the hospital bed to ponder the question if he lives to tell the tale, unless of course he is a trained handler.
Maybe there is a reason for everything, maybe there is no causeless curse, maybe there is a reason why the swallow wanders, the bird flies, the arrows go in a certain direction, maybe nothing is random, maybe stock market can be outperformed consistently, maybe everything is on synch. The hidden things belong to the Lord and those that are revealed belong to us ….! Let us leave the hidden things alone and live with the realm of those that are revealed. In order words let’s apply the wisdom we already have, let us just the knowledge we have acquired first even if we must seek more. To ignore fundamental is fool hardy.
If I am married to man a man given to rage, fury and anger, that is his nature, I have come to know that, it is irrelevant whether he should be like that or not, that is how he is, if he treasure my sanity and peace, I stay out of his way and try not to provoke him. ‘What about my right to freedom of speech?’ You ask. My simple answer will be, ‘what about my right to protect my life?’ We can stand in the bull’s cage flying our red flag frantically delcaring our fundamental human right and the right to choose. Bulls do not have a single understanding of any of that, both us and our banner will be trampled upon.
Why do some people fall at one thing and others don’t ? Why do a person have a glass of wine, knowd when he or she is done, gets up, goes home forgets about it. Yet another person’s first taste of the forbidden is the first step to a life long addiction.
A man must know himself, know others around him and within reason act accordingly. A fool will die of his folly. A wise man will live by is wisdom. In all your gettings, get wisdom, live wise!
