Good and Bad
Well, another day scratching thoughts out of my mind and writing them in this blog. Today I want to talk about something that I believe it's a topic that not many people dare to question: the conception of when something is "Good" and when it's "Bad".
So, again, humans. We are something really hard to understand, aren't we? We always try to justify our actions, thinking that what we are doing is something, well, good or bad. You already read the title, so let me get to the point: the entire definition of "good and bad" it's completely and entirely in our heads. They're just words, really ambiguous concepts.
Let me put an example: imagine that you are in a room with no windows and one door. In the room you can see 3 people that you care and a gun. Then, a voice says that, in order to get out of the room, only one of you can be alive. What would you do? Kill everyone? But that'd be something... "bad", right? But of course, you don't want to die, so you are doing something "good", aren't you?
Never believe that you are doing something good or bad. It's not as simple as that. What you might think it's the right thing to do, it might be the wrong one for someone else. Don't justify your choices with "I'm picking up the right choice" or blame someone because you think that he or she made a "bad choice". Try not to just decide between black or white, but instead make your own new color.
Or you can always stop reading this and just don't overthink about life as much as I do. Learning things about the world is not that fun most of the time.
Well, I believe it's time to end another pointless post. And remember folks: if you want to be a better person, the first step is not being a complete moron. Have a nice day/night/4th of July.
