I avoid using the words good, evil or bad. This is because to quote "Nothing is either good or bad, it is thinking that makes it so." In other words when we label something or someone either good or bad, we are making a judgement based on the programming that our mind has received. We know that this is often based on the script we have been given to live by. Some people think that the sole purpose of life is to enjoy themselves regardless of the consequences. Others believe that enjoyment of any kind is wrong and detracts from working towards some great ideal. To separate ourselves from a programmed view of what is good or bad, I prefer to use the words positive and negative:
Something, which is positive, is pro-life.
Something, which is negative, is anti-life. When this criterion is applied to activity in our own lives and lives of those around us, a subtle change takes place in the way we start to view the world. The term life in this context refers to the whole physical manifestation of life on this planet. Any decision on whether a course of action is pro-life or anti-life has to take into account the effect an action or pattern of behaviour has on life as a whole. Our lives are governed by positive and negative energies. If we seek to live in a positive or pro-life way, we will attract positive energy and positive people into our lives. The reverse is also true. Sometimes it is tempting to think we can get further ahead by acting in a negative way. This goes against the principle that negative action attracts negative feelings. Our feelings are us. How we feel about life, whether we are happy, content or think well of ourselves is affected by negative behaviour. Which actions are negative and which are positive? As an adult it is your responsibility and privilege to decide for yourself. This is your life! To summarise, before making any decision or altering a pattern of behaviour in yourself I would like you to ask yourself the following question. IS WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO A POSITIVE, PRO-LIFE ACTION?
If the answer is anything other than yes, you know what you must do.Trevor
