The Easy Bad and the Hard Good

Every decision we do makes us either good or bad. All of us have a choice to try to be good or bad. However, regardless of what you choose to do or try to become, it will be inevitable to still be judged and be treated as someone you are not. A lot of people who act evilly are judged as if their good. There are even a lot more of respectful people who are treated as bad ones. Sometimes, it even feel like it’s better to try to be bad because of the fact that one can still find a lot of people treating him as a bad person even though he’s good. It’s actually a lot easier being successful in being bad, don’t you think?

I wonder what the main reason why there are a lot of people who act like this is. Is it because they just can’t accept that they don’t know enough and so they try to assume and think of superficial things and make them as facts so they’ll feel they know something? Is it because there are a lot of people who are just ignorant and incapable of thinking proper enough to act well to help people in their endeavor to be good all the time instead of giving them a hard time in being so? One of the biggest reasons, I believe, is that a lot of people are cowards to do the right thing. They assume things and act base on these assumptions instead of trying to know the facts. No wonder, often times, people are acting as if they know enough when they know so little.

Acting based on assumptions can either hinder us from doing the best things for our lives and even for others or can make us do the worse thing to others and even to ourselves.

It is easy to be bad and it is hard to be good. I feel that’s the fact now, at least for a lot of places. Yes it is a fact now, but it’s up to us if we are going let that fact continues forever. Let’s be smarter and have keen eyes to know the person who is trying to be good and who is not. Let’s not make anyone feel that being evil is easier than trying to be righteous. Let’s help people be good persons. I think we all know how to do that.

Someday, there will be a person writing a manuscript entitled “The Hard Bad and the Easy Good.” It is possible. Do you think it is possible?
