The Things That Really Matter |

Some say that if you’re “good” you'll
go to heaven and if you’re bad you'll go to hell. But what really is being “good” and what's being “bad”?
Is giving money to charity “good” or is helping out a friend in need of love and support “good”? Can
you compare the two; Saying that one is better then the other? But then again is either really that great? There
will still be starving children in the world and friends will always have problems. Some of which you won’t be able
to solve. What happens when we aren’t there to help? Does not being there make us “bad” people? Don’t
you think that if we’re there to solve one problem that we should solve the rest of there problems while we’re
at it? And is “bad” stealing a few bucks out
of your mother’s purse to buy her a birthday gift because you forgot to save some money for her special day. Or is it
stealing money from a bank to pay for your mothers triple by pass surgery? Either way it’s stealing but is one classified
as being “good” or ok and the other as being “bad”? We will never know the reason for a person doing
what they do unless you ask them. The person stealing the money wasn’t doing it for themselves. He was doing it to help
out a friend in need of love and support. Yet that “love and support” was classified as being “good”.
But now it’s turned into something bad? Now he’s spending twelve years in prison while the boy who stole money
from his mother’s purse to buy her a gift for her big day walks free. It doesn’t quite seem fair. They were both
trying to do the right thing weren’t they? The lesson that I’ve learned in life is that nothing is
fair and being a “good” or “bad” person and doing what you have to do is two totally different things.
We do the right things for all the wrong reasons but some times we do the wrong things for all the right reasons? You decide.
