This Weeks question is:
What part do you play in creating more “good” in the world?
The human quest “to be good” drives virtually everything we do. We all want to be good, but it’s not easy. The person who really tries to be “good” knows how tough the job is and is always striving for a higher level. The struggle to do good stems from two conflicting inclinations in every human being: wants and desires. “Want” is for permanence. It is rooted in reality. “Desire” is for the moment, with little regard for future consequence. It is an escape. This conflict is between your body and your soul. Your eternal soul seeks permanence. It wants to do all the right things. Meanwhile, your body, which is destined for the grave, seeks satisfaction for the moment. Drawn by comfort and effortlessness, it wants to eat, to sleep, to lust. With every decision, wants and desires clash and create a dilemma. To be triumphant in the battle to be good, you have to focus on your innate desire to be good. What part do you play in creating more “good” in the world?
