What would motivate us to be good? (Fear of punishment?) To be good would ask so much of us. How is that?
Being good, mostly, takes us outside ourselves. Being polite, obeying the rules, showing respect for the rights of others and their property. Just to mention a few. Being good may show others how we respect ourselves.
While growing up being good meant behaving, minding our manners, taking care of one’s responsibilities. The list continues.
As human beings we need to be good. We were reminded that there were rewards to being good. (Santa Claus is coming!)
Are there choices to being good? “No!” Have you ever thought of that? The opposite to being good is what? No thinking here! Of course, it is being bad!
In today’s world, are the reasons for being good any different? It may take a while for us to realize the benefits for being good; and truthful.
What comes to mind for you? How about being peaceful with yourself…free from guilt.
Always caring, Louise
