Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous.
Actually, who are you not to be?

being good

How do you define being a good person?

someone whu do not steal/rob, commit arson, murder, in essence, whu do not commit morally or criminally offensive crimes is deemed as a good person?

den i am a good person?

even if i dun donate to 'needy' causes when i walk around orchard, assulted every 5 steps by worthy causes, crippled beggars, struggling musicians and the chinese calligraphy guy in the underpass? does apathy to the so called needy around negate the 'goodness', if there was any to begin with, in me? but i have perfectly acceptable reasons, "i'm only a poor student", "i dun even have enuff fer myself".

i say that and i have a handphone, eat conveyor belt sushi when i feel like it and aircon at home, 2 PCs, 2 TVs and clothes i stop wearing after a few times.

even if i know that it is right to give up seats to the elderly/pregnant/little kids and i dun?

even if i commit...in thought or otherwise all 7 deadly sins?
Pride, Envy, Anger, Avarice, Sadness, Gluttony, Lust

If blame was to be assigned, should the award go to the society at large or to the miro-organism of the society, the individual, or the hot favourite- the family? Who will you blame?

Not many of us go about being pro actively Good. many express regret at not having the time to do voluntary work. the degree of truth in that statement varies according to the person whu has skin thick enough to utter it. typically "i want to be good, i want to do voluntary work, BUT i have no time"

therefore i have arrived at this conclusion
volunteers= the embodiment of goodness

(even if they dun give up seats to the elderly auntie whu hobbled in the last stop or they end up being the serial killer of old folks in a home)

i'm not trying to be difficult. Y are you being so judgemental?

Why is it then that active do-gooders are treated as weirdos in our midst?
imagine one day, i tell you that i do not tolerate gossips anymore because we are being horribly judgemental on pple we dun know, and that i am currently volunteering, and that i gave away one of my PC and TV to a children's home.

Tell mi the first thot/word/phrase that runs across your mind. the line that comes before "thats very charitable of you"

i dun understand 'goodness'

i give up my seat to someone no the train one day but not to another when im feeling just too tired, what does that make me? i give money to one chartity organisation on the street but not to another one just further down the same street. Am i being a worse person? I understand how you feel, i feel as though im being judged everytime when i do something nice, or not nice; like when on occasions i don't give money, or give up my seat. But then again, aren't we all?
