'Tis not right to adjudge bad man at random good, or good man bad
This quote has rested
in my phone for months, I have almost forgotten whence it comes from.
I thought it was Shakespeare, but when I checked it, no, it's
Sophocles.
Creon said the line
above after he was being falsely accused by the angry Oedipus. Creon
brought a message from Delphi, yet the message was not something
Oedipus like. Oedipus called Creon a liar and false friend. He even
wanted Creon dead.
It reminds us all to be
careful when judging people. We should not “randomly” judge
people based on prejudice or simply first impression, because it's
not fair. This kind of judgement usually ends up in wrong decision,
just like Oedipus.
That's all from me.
