What is Good? What is Bad?
“Good” and “bad” are not universal truths carved into existence.
They are human inventions, concepts born out of our attempt to organize life, give meaning to experiences, and regulate coexistence.
What one culture praises as virtue, another may condemn as sin.
What one person considers a noble act, another may see as foolishness.
But if good and bad are relative, what truly defines them?Intentions ❓️
Some argue that the heart behind the action matters most. If you meant no harm, if your choice was guided by love or honesty, then it was “good” even if it didn’t unfold perfectly. Yet, history shows us that terrible harm has often been justified by “good intentions.”
Rules ❓️
Others lean on laws, traditions, or moral codes. “Good” is what aligns with the rules, “bad” is what breaks them. But rules themselves are human creations, often shaped by power, religion, or convenience. Following them blindly may not always lead to justice or truth.Results ❓️
Another perspective is that consequences determine value. An act is good if it creates well-being, peace, or growth, and bad if it causes harm, pain, or destruction. But consequences are rarely so clear-cut. What benefits one may hurt another. What brings short-term pain may open space for long-term healing.🚨 Perhaps the real answer is not in rigidly defining good or bad but in cultivating awareness. Each moment invites us to ask:
Does this choice expand love, freedom, and connection?
Does it respect life, dignity, and balance?
Or does it close doors, create suffering, and deepen separation?My perspective:
☯️ Good and bad are just labels, but beneath them lies a deeper question:
✨ Are we vibrating in L💜VE?
Because when we are, kindness, respect, compassion, and truth naturally flow through our words and actions. And that, to me, is being and doing “GOOD”.Note: watch the video. Luckily you will feel it too.
