Who defines me as Good or Rebel?

Who defines me as Good or Rebel?

How do we define a person as good or rebel? This is a complicated question. There are two issues underlined in our whole discourses of a good person

a. In our perspective a person agrees or accept our view points is a good person (even it is unjust or inhuman). He/She should be obedient to us(even there is oppression) and should affirm that we are the ‘best person’ he/she ever met.

b. The outward expressions. A good person should be polite, pleasing facial expressions and language, soft words, sugar coated approach etc

Do we consider a person without these qualities as a rebel?

Some people are very good in outward expressions but some others are not. If the outward expressions including sugar coated language is intentional and with a hidden agenda, then there is a problem. There is an image building is going on and ego satisfaction is taking place.

If a person who is ‘rough(it was said and publicised by the agents of rich)’ in outward expressions is branded as ‘rebel’ even his/her intention and actions are just and genuine.

If a sermon, conversation, etc is to please somebody then it is a performance and which is against our conscience.

A wealthy and secured person can ‘behave’ diplomatically. But a person who is a victim of unjust structures can not behave diplomatically.

A person who availed all opportunities or more he/she got can be a ‘polite or humble’ person. How a person can be ‘polite and humble’ who negated all opportunities by the surroundings?

God driven person cannot be ‘humble’ in the midst of oppression
Christ centred person cannot be ‘pleasing’ person in the midst of ‘unjust social and economic’ settings
Spirit filled person cannot be a ‘matured(a person with a matured silence)’ person where there is targeting discrimination and alienation........

A person who consider others as his/her brothers and sisters and see them in suffering could not be a ‘good’ person against the society which is responsible for that.

I cannot smile when my identity is demoralised by the capitalists
I cannot be polite when my views and perceptions are silenced by the rich and powerful
I cannot be diplomatic when oppressors are shouting against me

Yes...I am a ‘rebel’ in the eyes of the unjust and oppressive structures....but I could experience the presence of Christ who love the justice, peace and liberation....I may be a ’rebel’ due to my interventions which is against to the rulers and emperors of today but I believe and affirm that it will pave the way for a better world............

I don’t care the words of the capitalists.....But I will listen my God
They branded me as rebel.......Yes I am a ‘rebel’ against all inhuman and oppressive systems.....
Yes Christ was a ‘rebel’ in the eyes of the political and religious leaders............................
