The title phrase was referred by God to people who are accustomed to do evil and not good. In my years of encounterment, I was privileged to know good and well intended friends. I am aware that no one is perfect though we strived to be a better person each day.
It is perhaps our expectation we have on people that disillusioned our realm of what the 'Borg' would term it as perfection. I have been let down by my own shortfalls, and as hard as I am with myself, I know my struggle to be a better man will only spirial me upwards.
10 years ago, I was driven and a little over my head in terms of goals and ambition. My close friends would have known my potential for growth (and track record) but I was contented taking the back seat until a recent friend pointed out eagerily that I should be the one taking the front wheel.
I admit I have a problem in reconciling inner beauty as to external. I think God has a problem with that too since He is more concern with our souls and heart, but there are shining examples of individuals who have it all. Relatively, you might beg to differ, afterall, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Nevertheless, I am challenging myself to have it all this time. I'll take all your positive feedback and encouragements, and hopefully you will continue to stay with me once I emerged later in the year.
Wish me luck, won't you?

Physical beauty is a deteriorating asset. A battle against time, really. One can only work so hard to preserve one's beauty, but time still win at the end and beauty will fade away. Inner beauty, if honed and nourished diligently, will be an ever-growing asset, outshining any superficial contenders of 'beauty' out there.
You can either choose to battle time lifelong for physical beauty, of which failure is certain, or improve your inner self continuously lifelong, of which its resulting true beauty will be revealed in time. =)
Well said Mr. Ayam!!! :)))
