Not like Esau (3)
"I am not that stupid. Do not lump me together with Esau."
It is easier to assess other people's judgment call after the fact, long after the implications have become clear. "If I were him, I would not have done that." Easier said than done. Maybe if I were Esau, I might have done something equally egregious.
I make decisions now based on what I know and assume. The outcome is not always within my control. Specifically to life after death, when I die, what happens then is an outcome of what I decide now. By then, I cannot change it anymore.
I hope at that time I will find that I am not like Esau.
