Good or Bad





Good and Bad are one like two sides of the same coin. Everyday we label people and situations as good or bad, based on our feelings associated with them. Something that brings us happiness is labelled as good, and the reverse is true for bad. But, in reality there is no absolute good or bad, rather, it's all relative and depends on the way our mind associates the feelings of good or bad to any event in our life.

Every person is a unique combination of various traits, which serve him to evolve and learn in this life time. For example, if someone has to learn to have more patience, he'll be put into difficult situations from time to time until he learns the lesson and develops the habit of perseverance and  tolerance. Now, during those learning times he may label such situations as bad, even though they are helping him to become a stronger person. So, we look at events as good or bad based on the pain or pleasure we derive from them. And if we think about people, there is no classification as good or bad, as we are all the same. However, each one of us behaves differently(so called good or bad) in different situations based on our conditioning and mental convictions.  Our inner Self has all the wisdom and is always awake, we just have to listen to its guidance.
We are all unique pieces of the one big jigsaw puzzle called the Universe. Each one of us has unique features and all of us are equally important to complete this Universe. All of us have same Divinity and pure love within but, we shall be able to see the Divine in others only when are able to see it in our Self. If we love our self completely without any judgement, we shall be able to accept everyone else as a unique person made in the image of God. Then our mind stops judging people as good or bad and we start accepting each event of our life as an important stepping stone towards our growth and development.  


"Oh Lord! may we always see Your light shining in every living being."
