Hello, there.
Still writing from Aussie.
Something has been bothering my mind since days ago. I don’t know whether I should feel bothered or not. I tried not to, but you know, it’s kind of hard for me. Cannot just snap out something once it has entered my mind, haha.
Okay, just a quick and random thought.
Does doing a bad thing to a bad person make the doer a good person?
Not doing that for justifying anything.
Because I saw lots of disturbing things lately, about people pointing out other persons’s mistakes (like they don’t have any, huff~).
First and foremost, my answer to that question is NO. We’re all sinners anyway. We’re humans. We did good things and bad things, and we did that maybe instinctively.
We don’t have to declare that we’re a malicious person—everyone knows that—aren’t we all?
But we also don’t need to validate that we’re a good person.
Sometimes when we choose to be on one side, it’s not because we really sided with a good person. We choose it because we think it’s a good side. And the reason why we think it’s a good side can be related to anything. Even we can agree on one case and then be completely opposite on another case. Because it comes from what shaped us.
It’s totally fine to take a side—any side.
It becomes a problem when you are being overly proud, and instead of focusing on the debate you’re in, you forget about being human.
Yes, it’s good to feel good.
It’s good to be proud of yourself for doing the right thing. To take the side of a good person. To be forever labelled “a good one.”
But when it comes to thinking deeper and wiser, is that arrogant attitude a good thing?
Let’s be honest.
Honesty is a good thing. And the good thing is everyone's favourites
