Question: Why do I need to be good?
Answer: What do you mean by being good?
Answer 2: Like doing the right things in business, helping people, speaking the truth, eating healthy, waking up early, staying loyal to your partner, etc.
Why does even this question exist? Why do you want to be bad especially when you know the difference between good and bad?
It’s easy!
But then at what cost?
I have my friends. They do not follow the rule of being good. But still, they are flourishing and happy in life.
First thing what do you mean by being happy in life here?
They have lots of money.
And? How do you know what’s happening in their families? What’s their health like, what’s their relationship like, how are their children and relationship with children? Moreover, how is the future? And who are we to decide that! WE can focus on our lives.
But still. Let’s say, if we do not pay taxes this year, we will have more money.
Certainly maybe for time being. What if someone falls sick in that year and more money flows out then you have saved by not paying taxes.
But then that would still have happened!
Maybe not! What if you kept the money which did not belong to you and that’s how it found a way out.
But then how can one earn big money without doing any wrong things?
Can you expect good health, if you keep eating junk? One or two bites or occasional cheating may not reflect but after some time, you would see the difference. Same way, the health of your life depends on the good things you are putting in. Like doing the right things.
But then how can we earn big?
By focusing on bigger things, having a bigger vision, working hard, helping others.
So we have no other option?
Nope! The only option is to be good to have a good life.
