Can the nature of a human being change? A fresh grain of wheat produced by a fertile land bursting with goodness is grinded into flour. This precious flour is then turned into a pliable dough that can easily be shaped according to the expertise and skill of the baker. From this very dough, all kinds of assorted bakeries are produced.  For some milk and butter is added while to others different other ingredients play a major role in the taste and texture that differs accordingly. Rich trays are then ready for the oven. It takes more than an excellent artisan baker to get this mission done> Many factors play a vital role in the production of a finely baked cake or loaf of bread. Suitable temperature, fine ingredients, artisan work and first and foremost a good flour. The dough is then put in the oven. Time is set accordingly. After a while, when it’s ready, a mouthwatering smell is all over the place. We can also see a puffy golden product ready to be devoured with love.

 However, some pieces are over baked. The more unneeded heat it gets, the more it loses its nature. Their once golden color and fluffy texture gradually change into a hard, ugly, and inedible thing. Those who waited with full excitement for it to get out of the oven are now avoiding even to touch it.

A human being and his nature is not far from the journey of the wheat grain in life. He is born weak and pure. Then this delicate spotless baby gets into life and grows gradually into an adult. Day after day, he learns and gains experience. His nature changes according to the situation he faces and the problems he gets involved in. He repeats some reactions and avoids others. He seeks what made him happy and evades what destroyed his peace.

Yet, there is always things that are beyond his control. He cannot change destiny but rather learn how to accept his fate and make the best out of all hardships. Many factors change human nature throughout life. Some are inevitable while others are the result of his own deeds; the fruit of what he sowed. We live in a society that we basically were born to be part of. A child is born among members of a family, a neighborhood, school mates, friends and work colleagues. We react and co-exist. Some relationships add to our existence while others degrade us or injure our purity.

Years pass by and this pliable happy child changes into an adult. People around him expect him to act typically the same as he did throughout his whole life. They are heedless to all the factors that added to his formation and personality. They do not change any of their attitude towards him as they expect him to accept their treatment as he did all his life. A turn of events take place: he says “No”. He refuses to do what he once was forced to do. He is experienced enough to do what is right for himself not for others. His wisdom reveals itself.

If you wonder why a person changed, observe all the factors responsible for his upbringing and the hardships he faced and the problems he had to handle. Ask yourself if you have anything to do with what he became. Have you ever did any injustice to him? Have you put him under unwanted pressure? Have you provoked him to get the worst out of him? To preserve a good loaf keep it in a good place away from all factors that can corrupt its freshness. Remember that if you was reckless and ignored its delicate nature, fluffy structure and put it in a damp place it will get moulds a will turn into a bad, let alone, poisonous thing. Life treats man as a piece of bread. He starts delicate and soft then by constant exposure to unnecessary heat changes into a black charcoaled piece void of all the golden appeal it once had.
