Angel and Demon undestand them and follow

Written By : Daniel Pasaribu

The phrase angel and demon is an example of a pair of antonyms. The characteristics of the two are always opposite or against one another. If the angel goes right the demon is the opposite. They are like the story of ‘Bawang Merah dan Bawang Putih’. But why do people become demon (read: allow themselves become the victims of demon’s work)? And how important is to know more of the two?
To make clear the differences between angel and demon, we have to understand them. I have ever tried to define their characters, which Angel is right and Demon is wrong, good and bad. And I think everyone agrees.
But it is not stop until there, because in reality, it is not as simple as good and bad. Why? We are brought up by our parents to do the right things. But we as human being sometimes lead to do evil things. It means, good and bad the same possibilities for human to choose. That is the problem! Angel and demon’s works are real. When we do a good thing, the devil spirit is always there to convince us to do evil.
The bottom line here is not only how well we understand them, but we also must have the strength and even courage to choose to do the right thing. Many people know well the difference between good and evil, but not many of them are strong enough to choose the right one. Knowledge or knowing something is good does not guarantee it can make someone does a good thing.
But then again, life is a matter of choices. Choices do determine who we really are. Either good or bad, it is up to you, however.
