Shame Old Story

It's understandable that we are inclined towards sinfullness. Only God knows why good is reinforced by feelings of shame, guilt, and pity, and by deprivation through self-sacrifice, all unpleasant, while evil tends to be supported by euphoria, excessive abundance, and no-strings-attached sex. Furthermore, good seems boring, while evil appears exciting. As soon as Moses went into the mountains, his people strayed into idol worship and all-out debauchery. Then, when he returned, he was so mad that he threw his tablets at them - the first stoning. And one of the tablets landed on Ezekiel's foot and broke his big toe, causing him to invent the ancient wheelchair - but that's another scripture. The people at once felt ashamed. They melted their golden calf and used the gold properly, as coins in a bank vault. I think God forgives us for succumbing to our desires because he made them so seductive. Through his eyes people may even appear cute on a Friday or Saturday night, getting all drunk and disorderly and waking me up in my room. How like naughty children we must appear to him at such times, too innocent to know the perils of our misbehaviour, just wanting to have fun. There's a place in the gospels where Jesus refers to his people as 'those lost sheep', his love for them implicit. The important thing is that we, upon reflection, feel bad about our sins. It helps us to avoid repeating them. Strange, isn't it? Feeling good makes us bad, while feeling bad makes us good. (Feeling nothing makes us serial killers.)
