Goodness Decides The Method As Well As The Path Of The Journey

Is goodness relevant? How far will it get me?

Is that a strange question? No, not really.

We see contrasts in the world in which we live. The good and the evil. The positive and the negative. The haves and the have nots. So many differences.

Yet so much the same too, if we care to look.

And through it all we should try to be true to ourselves.

Doing the right thing not only feels great, it can feel natural and normal. We do know when we are trying to beat the system. When we are trying it on. We know. Others may know, but we certainly know.

But will we be found out. We think not, but often we will be. Is it worth the risk? Is it worth going against our nature?

You may think it is fine, but is it really worth it?

We may not like the idea but are we not programmed for light side of the force. To help one another. To do the right thing. To be honest. To love. To be loved.

Not the reverse. Not to trip others up. Not to put one over on others. Not to always buck the trend. Not to be bad and much worse. Bad is nothing.

The news on any day shows the bad side of life. Yet life is life. We are the perpetrators not life. We perform the acts, not life.

Life is a medium. We are in control. We do our own thing.

Is it not better when we follow our heart?

• playing fair just seems the right thing to do
• do as you would be done by is an excellent maxim to live by
• give of your best never did anyone any harm did it?
• seek out the light and you will be on the right track
• refrain from the bad, the nasty, the 'xxx'

Treat as you find at times is necessary. But we do have to be true to ourselves.

We have to sleep with ourselves at night. We have to live with ourselves and the consequences of what we do.

Would we rather they be full of goodness and wholesome than the opposite - for sure we would. And are they really any more difficult to do?
