Heaven's Gate

发布者: tataoo | 发布时间: 2007-8-16 17:20| 查看数: 2510| 评论数: 4|

The lawyer is standing at the gate to Heaven and St. Peter is listing his sins:

Defending a large corporation in a pollution suit where he knew they were guilty.

Defending an obviously guilty murderer because the fee was high.

Overcharging fees to many clients.

Prosecuting an innocent woman because a scapegoat was needed in a controversial case.

And the list goes on for quite awhile....

The lawyer objects and begins to argue his case. He admits all these things, but argues, "Wait, I've done some charity in my life also." St. Peter looks in his book and says,"Yes, I see. Once you gave a dime to a panhandler and once you gave an extra nickel to the shoeshine boy, correct?" The lawyer gets a smug look on his face and replies, "Yes." St. Peter turns to the angel next to him and says, "Give this guy 15 cents and tell him to go to hell."

The story left me a thinking: Can we erase the wrong things we've done by doing good things?

I think we can't. We need to face what we've done wrong and take the responsibilities. But noone has done nothing wrong in his whole life, we need to learn from mistakes and try to do good to the world. Don't you feel after you've done one good thing, you feel very happy and proud?
