Episode
Have you experience thinking of ways on how to solve a particular problem in which you must decide whether it is best for your wife and the people or it will be just best for some people who really doesn't have heart?
I am King Kong, a King from the Land of Pepper and I have a wife whose name is Queen Brit. We live a happy life in or kingdom. We give our people their freedom in doing whatever they want, respecting their decisions in life in which they can show their feelings through their actions.
Every middle of the year we have an event called "A Night Full of Stars" this is an event where all of the Kings and Queens of the neighboring kingdom attends, we discuss about different issues in our kingdom and thinks of solution on how we will overcome the said problems. Being the head of the kings, I am entrusted to sign a decision or a law in which we must follow. The king from the land of Pashnea opened a topic about what is happening in their place,
King Fu: I am here to discuss about the different crimes in our kingdom, we experience different incidents that cause our people in harm. Every night there are goons who are roaming around the residential area and try to steal things inside the houses. They also kill innocent man and they get their organs for them to earn their living.
King Ley: Yes, I have heard that news about. It is all over the internet and the people in your places are moving in our kingdom. You all know that our kingdom is not that rich like all of your kingdom. Can you please not go in our place?
King Fu: Oh really? I didn't know about that. I am not informed by my officials. I will let them know about that as soon as possible.
King Ley: Thank you for your understanding. We are experiencing famine and scarcity is also one of our problem. People in our kingdom do things that are wrong. They kill each other and eat each other.
King Pong: Oh my! That is gross. In our kingdom we experience cases about murders, rapes and kidnapping. I don't know who do this things, I don't have any idea about this one.
King Hu: What will we do head master, King Kong? We must decide from this situation we are encountering. We must decide about putting a penalty on the mastermind of this issues. I think they are connected in each other because we experience it after one another.
King Kong: My dear, Kings. Calm down, relax. We must think of a decision precisely and carefully. Our people is in danger with this. We must know how to handle this things and try to fix it in an easy manner without hurting people. Yes, we must know who the mastermind of this incidents is. What consequences will he/she will experience you think?
King Ley: A death penalty!!!!!!!!
King Hu: Yes! I agree to King Ley in his idea. He kills and stole items he must be killed in front of all of us.
King Pong: Kings, settle down. Are you sure with that one?
King Kong: Everyone, before deciding we must think it 7,777 times because it is between a life and death situation. For now, let us end this topic and talked about our final decision next week. Dismiss!
After our meeting I went directly to our room and hug my wife Queen Brit.
"Honey, our neighboring kingdoms are experiencing problems that lead to death. They think there is a mastermind whom the people are serving for because they get the internal organs of their victims. I don't know what to do my love? Will you help me decide?"
"Honey, I think death penalty is bad and it is against our belief. As a citizen in our place and we believe with God it is against his law."
"But it is what the other King suggest? It is what they think is right for that mastermind for him to shut up."
"Do your beliefs matter to you my love? Do I matter to you my love? What if I am the mastermind of those issues? Will you signed the agreement and you will approve death penalty? Do you think it is fair enough to give that person his death? Are you okay watching someone die because of you? Will your conscience handle it? Will it be worth it if you will agree? Think about it over and over again. You have your power my love, use it properly and think a hundredth time before doing a decision that you might regret in the future."
"Are you saying that I must not approve the idea? Because I know it is against our belief? What will happen to our people, they might be killed?"
"There are different ways to punish that person you can give a life time imprisonment, getting his things. But not getting his life. Maybe he did those things for a reason. Maybe it is valid, maybe it is for something that is more important. But getting his life from him is a BIG NO for me!!!!!! You are ending his life, you are a killer like him then if you approve it."
"Honey, let's just talk sometime. Let's stop this."
After a week, the Kings went back to Pepper to talk about the issue again.
King Fu: What will be our decision my colleagues? Will we do death penalty or what?
King Ley: Yes! I want that he is a criminal we must do that.
King Hu: You honor, stop it! We must hear our Head Master first.
King Kong: As your head master, I totally disagree about what you want my fellow. It is against our beliefs. Yes, he committed a crime but he is a person. He must live his life. We have different punishment for that. We must not kill him.
King Ley: You are not fair enough my dear Head Master.
King Kong: I am not that fair? Think about this, what if your love one is in that situation will you agree that we will sentence him death? Do you think it will be fair then?
King Ley: That's not the point! We are talking about the mastermind not me.
King Kong: Yes, we are talking about mastermind but try to think and dig in the issue. We must not look on the upper side only but look at the inside. We are not called Kings just because we have power but we are called Kings to protect and serve our people. Do you think if we kill that mastermind we are protecting our people? Maybe you will say he already killed people but remember my King we must protect him too and serve him just.
King Fu: You are right Head Master. I analyze the situation and it is really hard to do that thing. Maybe it ruined everything but we must not sentence him death. Life is a gift from our Creator we must save.
King Ley: I am sorry my King, I decided not thinking of the consequences. Please forgive me.
King Kong: It is okay my friend, we decide for the better not just because we decide just to decide. Decisions we make will reflect our leadership in our kingdoms. Always remember, we are here to serve not to be serve. To protect and save not to kill.
Epilogue
Everyone decision will make the world turn around we must know what to do and learn to listen. Don't be aggressive. Think many times before doing a thing. We are human being we must save life not kill. We are here to be the stewards of creation.
