May Madness: Being Good Part One


Dear Friends,

I know it has been a while since I have posted something but the last few weeks have been busy and hectic. In the next few days, I will let you all in what has been going on in my life. This entry is about something that has been plaguing me. It is something that I never thought I would speak of out loud to my friends and other people. We live in a world that people are either good people or bad people. This is the good people blog.

Being good is something that is not only mentioned and used in the bible but somewhat in all religious and humanistic ideology. People even use the ideal of karma for what happens if you are not good. Being good is not just a state of mind but more so something that helps people to avoid the pitfalls of being depressed and do something like steal or kill.

Being good is something that I have been fighting since my teens. We all know that being good comes with the blessings of health, happiness, and sometimes a financial blessing. I have been tempting being good only because of the circumstances in my life. If someone drops $20 on the street or if someone does something bad and I witness it. Being good is something that is a lost art in the youth of today only because of the street rule about snitching. Being a snitch is like being the anti-Christ. I find that being good does have some benefits sometimes. Not to the kids of today though.

I wanted to talk about being good because when you get older, you see things differently. You see good judgments in the past as mistakes and you see something that was done wrong as fucking up now. In some cases, good equal balancing or re-shifting karma or trying to undo the past. With what has been going on in my life in the last year, I feel that being good is going to make my life better to live and deal with. I hope that is what happens but for now, I can wish and pray. This is not the end of this subject but it is the beginning of things to come in my life.
