HOW TO APPLY 'THE ACID TEST" TO ALMOST ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE


How to Apply “the Acid Test” To Almost Anything in Your Life

The Acid Test is defined as the true (or conclusive or decisive) test of the believability of something. The principle of the acid test says:
“You cannot conclude that something is positive until it is tested with the negative and it still remains positive!”
For example…
1.       You cannot be sure that somebody is not a thief until when there is something to steal and the person does not steal.
2.       You cannot conclude that you are morally strong until you have been tested with immorality/seduction and you still did not bow (or give in).
3.       You cannot be certain that you are a gentle person until someone provokes you but you still remain calm, cool, collected and speak soft words.
4.       You cannot really be sure that you love someone (same sex or opposite sex) until when a situation makes the person unlovable and you still express love to the person (this is Agape love).
5.       You might not be able to tell yet that you don’t cheat in exams until you find yourself in an exam hall and you DON’T know the answer but you still did not cheat.
6.       You cannot really say that a person is a giver until he gives even when he has so little.
7.       You cannot conclude that you have integrity until when others around you are compromising and you still remained uncompromising (or when you are alone).

So next time you find someone claiming to be something, you might want to ask yourself, “Has he/she passed the acid test for his claim?” Also before you claim you are something, be sure you have passed the acid test for that thing.

God bless you.
