So, who decides? You can define your own "good" and "bad," but I agree with the article that's mostly just to label others. If so, why not just dump that and do what works for you? |
Maybe other people do disagree with me. But so what?
As far as I am concerned good is using your mind properly and doing what is, as best you can tell in any given situation, what is best for you.
For example should I walk to work or get the bus?
If you live 50 miles from work, walking wouldn't be wisest move, but if you only live a 20 minute walk maybe you could save some money and walk.
Thats a prertty emotionally neutral situation.
So what about when you see a person being attacked on the street?
If your strong, or you know martial arts or are just generally good at fighting, then stepping in to help someone, because it makes you feel good to help, is a good thing.
Stepping in to help someone because you think you should, even if you can't fight, or aren't strong, is bad. It's stupid.
Have I made my stand on it clearer or just confused the issue further?
