When Did Being Good Become So Bad?
We are living in a world where natural disasters occur and they are so horrific it will take more years than I am alive for any real restoration to take place. The world is experiencing people committing some of the worlds most atrocious crimes - which include financial, physical, mental, psychological, social, and political. What is the point of going on, as the news dominates every medium available with something that doesn’t evoke positive emotion. The point just made is that bad news sells. Is it right? How does the exposure of the many bad things that occur impact you? Do you ever question, what is the point? Have you ever asked yourself, what is the point of always doing good when it is not as frequent in the news, or on our daily travels? When did being good become so bad, that we rarely hear about the good news we would want to, literally spread ourselves.
I am simply interested in exploring this, which will be a tip of the iceberg. When did being a good honest person become so bad?
As the world stands, whether in a professional or personal environment, there are time that I witness relationships, in the work I do, that embrace less genuine giving, playing the blame game, use people to our advantage, have become more selfish (and I strongly believe Social Media has an important part to play in this that can impact one’s self esteem), spend little time reaching out to people who actually are your day one’s, spend less time in deep reflective thought. Is this deemed as bad, to a degree yes, but everything is work-outable!
Are any of the elements mentioned something you are potentially experiencing in your life? If you have answered yes, this is such a great starting place for you to reconnect to you. Starting a journey which allows for a reconnection to self brings a level of wholeness and which has removed us from our divinity? Your divine can be related to the ‘true you,’ the ‘God within you,’ ‘your white light,’ ‘the holy spirit,’ or ‘the universe.’ The beauty is you decide on how you reconnect with self and build on a spiritual connection to enhance how you engage with others.
We have become a world where everyone seems to want something fast and to do so, they need to step on others, disregard, steal, neglect, disrespect, argue, hurt, kill, manipulate, lie to get to where they are going. I strongly believe in the karmic term, “what goes around, comes back around” because we, as a world of people, cannot live like this and expect the universe to allow it, without consequences.
As we spend so much time in work, this is when we really see the amoral and immoral individuals, who are desperate to rise to the top. Or when you have a competitive friend who cannot admit that they have low self esteem. All this is because goes back to developing self esteem which illuminates from one’s inner core. Unhealthy self esteem is a dangerous Dis-ease in humanity which has spread like wild fire! Hold on to your hats people!!
When you take time to stop and really look at your life and those around you, you have a choice to make a different decision in how you show up, firstly in your life, which tends to impact all your surrounding relationships. If you were someone who didn’t take accountability, ownership or stand in your power starts with being still, connecting to your deepest core and living in that power.
I, myself, am no angel but I work hard and I truly believe that treating people good until they behave in a way that being nice no longer warrants the a different tone. Do not get confused about what I am saying. When people are unkind, I believe in boundaries and there is a way in which you implement them by addressing the issue of someone’s conduct. If this is a conversation you have multiple times, the key question I always ask when I am ready to move on, is “How do I feel about this person, and am I elevated when I connect with them?”
If the answer is no, I release them and I keep it moving (with a few slip ups here and there)! When you release people from your life, it is sad, because it is a relationship that has to end and there is a grieving process that occurs (this is a different post 😊) but you have to remember that although it is a disappointment, it is obviously not God’s appointment in my life.
I wish you love and light on your continual journey of ‘GOOD!’ Be aware of the energy you choose to put out to the universe because your life will only reflect that…………so do not be SURPRISED! Do good, and good will follow….
There is a lot of us out here, we just have to stay connected!!
