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.
