We are afraid of doing wrong things

We are afraid of doing wrong things, but we end up doing them. There is this guy that I know. He was well raised from the Christian family. He would not associate himself with wrong gang. He told people that he will never do drugs or join thug’s gang, because he knew that was a wrong thing to do. He was still growing up by then and he was still in primary school. His dream was to finish school and achieve something in life. He was aware of the wrong things and never thought that one day he would be doing them.

At the age of 15 he started smoking dagga and using drugs. He joined a thug’s gang. He started drinking and not attending school properly. He started robbing people and stealing from the shops. He stopped attending school and he became the boss of the gang. He stole from his own home. He became violent. He went in and out of jail. He became a criminal and untrustworthy. His future became futureless. All the dreams he had, did not come true.

All the wrong things he was afraid of doing, he ended up doing. Most of people are like that, for instance you did not like the way your father treated your mom, may be your father was abusive to your mom and you tell yourself that you not treat your partner like your father did to your mom, but you will find out that you are doing the same thing your dad did to your mom.  Actions speak louder than words. Like the youth of today, they say that are scares of aids but their actions do not represents of what they are saying.
