is it possible to be good?
ok here is a monkey wrench i have been thinking over lately.
can we be good just for goods sake or are we good because it is expected from us through laws and social/ culture/psychological pressures. is it possible to do a good deed devoid of selfish intent? do we do good deeds for an expected reward. for an example the reward of good will of others, wanting to go to heavan or nirvana or whatever, or to preserve the notion that we really are a good people psychologically?
i have no idea if i am good. i obey the laws (for the most part) of my culture and succumb to pressures to "be good". but how does one be good?
ok i guess i am still trying to figure out what is good. i feel like a child. does anyone else feel this way. anyone have a answer?
