What is good?
How do we determine what is good? I don't wanna write philosophy essays today... What is good? Well...personal morals determine our decisions. If one has a legit brain, he will probably determine the basic morals. But if it gets complicated, then people's opinion collides. People are different. People have different morals. Unless they are mental or dumb, we might somehow have some common grounds or are brainwashed with some weird religious or Nazi ideas. How sad. But it is the reality. How can we even determine what is good when people already start debating on everything? But if I determine what is good it will be something that is indeed moral. The moral that follows my own definition that has been building up since I was a toddler. It is based on my family, religion, school, and mostly society. Altruism is good. Humility is good. Seven deadly sins are not good. So you can guess what is good. I am more of a giver. I like giving things to people. My sister is not really like that. But my mum and I like to give presents to people. This is how I think. Give people what you want to receive. Therefore do good things if you want good things to happen to you. Why live according to evil? Even evil deeds will not satisfy you. I am a Christian but I believe that trying to convert people forcefully is useless. Who wanna believe a religion like that? I hate seeing people going up to people's doors or going up to them in the subways/streets telling them to convert. Those converts embarrass their own religion. Well. If I were in those people's shoes I would not listen to them. Somewhat leaving those people alone are better. I would not bother them if they do not want to listen to me. It is not my business anyways. I am kinda a head strong girl. I would have been Elizabeth Bennet in "Pride and Prejudice." I do not really want to but my prejudice is always right in the end. As an adult, I now have the lawful decisions to make my own decisions. I decide what is morally good to me. I decided to leave my former church to go to a real church. I see there is no good or God in that church so I left. What I determine good is good. I guess that goes with everyone. That is why we have wars and conflict. People are stubborn to listen to others or sacrifice some of their ideas.
