A while back I happened to re-read the line "Every Saint has a past and every sinner has a future". It remained in my mind for a long time. I wrangled with the statement and tried to find parallels from my personal experiences of people around me, and I found several.
Here is something that I spotted today, in the FT Weekend edition titled '
Syria activists risk all on Homs supply runs'. It told the story of how professional smugglers were helping Syrian activists in bringing in medical supplies into Homs and taking out the wounded into safety.
One smuggler who initially started doing this for material gains, is doing the same for the sheer joy of helping the needy.
"I am so happy and proud to do such a thing" he says. "I am helping poor people who are asking only for freedom"
Here's to freedom, here's to a better world; Here's hoping that every sinner has a future, because every saint has a past!
Dont try and figure if there's a long overdue confession hidden somewhere in these lines above...its called writer's license (aka poetic license) ;)
