Scientists conduct experiments
on guinea pigs to find out if a certain treatment works and if it will have any
adverse side effects. Some guinea pigs grow tumors, get sick, or even die from the
experiment. If the test harms the guinea pigs, it will probably harm humans in a
similar way.
The world is filled with human guinea pigs. We can avoid a lot of heartache by learning
from others’ mistakes. Humans have experimented with risky behaviors thousands
of times, so there’s no need for you to experiment with them too. Don’t say, “It
happened to them, but it won’t happen to me.” Just open your eyes and carefully
observe everything that happened to them. The side effects won’t be obvious at
first, but given time the results are guaranteed to show up.
Human guinea pigs have
experimented with drugs and alcohol to get a brief thrill, but the side effects
will show up later—addictions, ruined families, poverty, and sometimes death. Humans have
caught incurable diseases by experimenting with immoral lifestyles. You don’t
need to perform the experiment yourself because the consequences will happen to
you too. Don’t kid yourself into thinking you’re the lone exception in the
entire world.
King Solomon, who was
the wisest man on earth, learned lessons from human guinea pigs. He observed a naïve young
man who visited a harlot, which ended in a tragic result (Prov. 7:6-27). He
observed a lazy man who didn’t take care of his property, which led to
financial ruin (Prov. 24:30-34). He also observed how wise people lived, which
resulted in a life of peace and happiness (Prov. 3:13-18).
Everyone
gets to choose how they will spend their life on earth. In making your
decision, you would be wise to closely examine the human guinea pigs. They will
show you exactly what will happen to you if you choose to follow their path. www.kentcrockett.blogspot.com
