A Fall Into Evil

Posted by Mina Drezner on 4:57 PM

David who used to be so graceful and honest now results to be malicious and somewhat negative toward the general story and the idea of the gratefulness of men. Make reference to the previous blog entry in which we talked about how men ere, and previous errors lead to other circumstances.  After seeing how an innocent man is slaughtered, David probably realized that giving in to “bad” is much easier than living by goodness.

Falling into luxury he has sex with a married woman, who he leaves pregnant. Then again, wronging instead of following the correct path given by the Lord. Once he wronged, he then again sinned. Sending his mistress’ husband off to battle to die. Nevertheless his acts are not unpunished. The Lord, sends disgrace upon him. Making David loose his child with his lover.

After a few years Amnom rapes his half sister and David remains quiet. He is mad, but does not scorn this act upon his oldest child. Going back to Bhagavad Gita we can see the lack of action being a sin. Maybe he did not get involved, but by having inaction he chose to “act” in the wrong way. Sinning once more.

Basically we can see the drastic change in ideals in this particular individual. He went from being an admired individual to a hated and despised one. The holy David is now an example for a man who went wrong and doubted the Lord. Simply, gave up.
