About an hour ago, a friend of mine had told me about an encounter he had recently with another friend of his. He said that friend had asked him if he'd be able to kill someone, a question my friend had quickly answered no to.
That friend had gone ahead to give him a scenerio where he says what if he was getting robbed, and at some point he finds himself tussling with the robber and somehow grabbed the robber's gun, would he shoot the robber knowing fully well that it's either he shoots the robber or he gets shot by the robber...
My friend said when he asked him that, he had answered that he would shoot the robber because it was either his life or the robber's life, but his friend told him that that didn't matter, what mattered was the fact that he had killed someone.
When he told me this, the one thing I got from the story was never say never, and this is because I've come to realize that it is always easier for us to give answer to a question when we're not presently in that condition, but then the moment we find ourselves in it, we become someone else.
This all reminds me of a lady friend of mine who during my freshman year in the university wouldn't let a guy sit close to her, not the even talk of trying to woo her. She had a friend of hers at my hostel at the time and on some days, around 6am in the morning, we would hear them praying aloud and speaking in tongues, waking everyone up from their sleep.
No one said anything to them because what they were doing had to do with God and we didn't want a situation where it would look like we were trying to discourage them from praying to God.
Anyways, fast forward to four years later and I still remember how shocked I was when someone told me that the same lady was now living with a man. Apparently she was now staying with her boyfriend.
Now this isn't something new over here, but the fact that it was her, made it look like one. I later got to find out that things were tough for her and she couldn't secure a place of her own, so she had to move in with him.
Her condition forced her to do the same thing she probably swore she was never going to do.
Well if you're wondering why I'm saying all this, it's just to remind you guys to never say never because you never know where you'd find yourself tomorrow.
