Being A Good Person

Question: Are We Genuinely Good Or Do We Do Good Things For The Sake Of It?

It's a question that's been in my head for a while now, and the reason why I haven't really touched on it yet is because it largely involves... me. I'm sure that it is also a question that has passed the minds of many other people, so maybe it'd be a good thing to hear another person's opinion on the topic.

To explain with an example: suppose you're rushing late to school and you get to the doors. You also see another student running to get there. Now you do either one of two things. You hold the door open for them, or you just go through by yourself. Assuming that you chose the former, a question is introduced. Why? Did you hold the door open because you genuinely wanted to do it? Or did you just hold the door open because you knew it was the right thing to do?

Applying this example to myself, I think my actions are simply influenced by knowing that I'm doing the right thing. One may argue however that doing the right thing is being an honest to god, good person. I'll leave it there.

Just a little something for you to think about

A Little Post

There are more things that I want to talk about, but it's difficult to put them into words... maybe another time? I know for sure that something I wanted to include in this post was "regret at the end of your life", but I'm not so sure what I want to do with that idea.

Another day of break gone. I shouldn't say gone though... it makes it sound as if I can never look back at it and remember it. Maybe the word used? Once again, up to you to pick. Hope you liked this post, and until next time. I'm an 8 tonight. Slight headaches.
