Being a 'good' person.

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 18, 2008, 8:47 AM
:diny: Hello to everyone on the planet! :sun:

I'm here, I'm alive, and I've been creating artworks that I'll soon show you. I apologize for not getting back to people's comments, etc. -- but I've been working hard to make ends meet. It's a difficult thing, being an artist. I think you ALL deeply acknowledge that in many different aspects.
Well, enough about that!

While I've been working on pieces (particularly "TUT", which is 7 feet tall [link]), I've been finding my mind pondering on the human condition. It's obvious that a person's worth isn't based at all on their bank account. Nor are they valued by the business they are in. I think it's fair to say that people, nowadays, believe that a person's worth is in their good intentions. But the problem lies where even knowing these things doesn't help if your frustrated with a situation, or act out because of personal issues.
I guess my point is that people don't seem to practice what they truly believe. This isn't their fault, however. Society has become so pressurized that it makes it difficult to stand firm and practice, on a daily basis, these 'good intentions'.

Well. Good has ALWAYS overcome evil. This can be reflected throughout history. I don't know why...for instance, though, perhaps the Nazis really knew what they were doing was completely evil, weakening their spirits, etc. The Polish army finally broke them down, thankfully. Even Richard Ramirez (AKA "The Night Stalker") has redeemed himself. He's still in jail, married, and could possibly be the most interesting person you'd ever meet. He's EXTREMELY well-studied in religions of all cultures, and will answer mail that you send him. But, he DOES NOT want to talk about when he was a murderer because that's, as he puts it, no longer him. He's become "good". He literally doesn't want to hurt a fly. Talk about a turn-around -- and in his case (which in most cases I don't), I believe it.

My point is that goodness is EXTREMELY contagious whilst evil is reviled even by the most hardened individual. Good spreads like wildfire. So the next time that you ever feel a reasonable cause to treat someone badly, whether verbally, or in any way -- simply DON'T do it. The opposite reaction would cause more anger, pain and 'evil' thoughts. But being a polite and non-patronizing person will spread a feeling of hope -- a more global effect, -- unlike a singular heated situation at, say, a gas station or wherever.
Practice goodness. Even when a person absolutely does not deserve it from you. It's self rewarding in that you feel that you've overcome frustration and stand firm. Understand people and their plights. Imagine if this way of being were to spread globally. That IS the world we're looking for, isn't it?
Now, I'm not great at it -- but I'm pretty strong-willed. I live in Hollywood, and I know that when people are unjustifiably rude to me, it's because of problems within themselves. I always remember that. Everyone should.

Be kind to EVERYONE on a minute to minute basis. I truly recommend that if you don't already, try it. It becomes habitual because it makes a person feel better about themselves.
It's a wonderful thing to be addicted to. Trust me. :heart:
If you don't want to? -- I ORDER you to! :D
Bye!

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
