I have heard that sometimes good causes can drive people to commit a bad action. And this seems to be very true today.
There is a nest of the dove above one of my bedroom window. It has been there for many months. I receive so much blessings from the the birdies there. In mornings that I feel gloomy, their song would help brighten up my day and give me a little more hope to go on. I'm so glad that I can have birds to sing for me everyday without locking them in a cage. And I really pray that they will always have a happy life there on my window. I love them so much.
My parents hired some men to paint our house and today they are about to paint the side that have the birdnest. My father asked if there are any eggs in the nest, if there are none he would let the painters take it down. My mother seemed to agree. That drove me crazy! A rage was built up inside of me and then exploded. I shouted out loud that I didn't want anyone to bother the birds. It's their home, and I've seen little birds in this nest before. I let my temper got the best of me. I stamped my feet on the stairs and I yelled my opinion out.
The final outcome, the birdnest was safe, my father put his hand inside the nest and there were eggs in it, so they didn't let the painter take it down. However, I made my mother angry so much by my shouting. Her anger stayed throughout the day and I felt really bad of myself. I knew I was wrong for expressing my opinion with such a rage and temper. I was so worried about the birds, forgetting to pray to God and believe that if it is His will, they would be safe anyway. Instead of using reason and soft-spoken words to express what I think and feel about the situation, I let the demon of anger reigned inside me and caused a damage to relationship.
Loving and caring for the birds and the animals that share our world is a good thing, but caring for the feeling of my parents is also important too. I am sorry for what happened and I will count this as a lesson learned today.
