What's good and what is bad?
This is a question people ask always when they are at the edge of making a decision that would affect their life or they don't know who to suppose when the real story is out. While watching the anime titled "Akame ga kill" I ask myself, what is good and evil?
Every human acts in a particular way. When we see people act unusually and wonder why they act in such a way, why are they evil? but who are we to judge them? A wise man once said
You would do that thing you hate the most just to survive.
Humans are quick to judge what's right and wrong because someone told us this is right and this is wrong. Although some things are naturally wrong we can't argue about that fact. Some people do things in the way that seems best to them because the outcome will benefit everyone but the method they use will affect a lot of people. Another wise man said
If you do a thing that benefits you at the expense of other people, then you're nothing but a statue of selfishness.
Two people working on a project but using a different method that will lead to the same outcome will call each other bad because their ways are different whereas their outcome is the same. You can be the villain in someone's else story and be the hero in another person's story.
Culture different can make you tag someone badly. Because your parent told you "Those who eat with their bare hands are seeds of the devil" and if you visit a country where its citizens use their bare hands to eat, you then tag them as evil and yourself as good. That's a messed-up kind of thought, and the funny thing is that the people who use bare hands to eat might see people who use Cutlery's as bad. A popular saying goes like this
You have to unlearn to relearn
Sometimes we see people do things we tag as bad and judge them immediately without even considering why they did such or what made them turn bad.
One of the main factors that change people's perspective on how they see life is pain, and mind you this isn't the pain from hurting or cutting oneself. Emotional pain is pain that changes one's thinking, it could be pain from losing a loved one or pain from watching a loved one die. Other factors that change a person's perspective are also the way they're brought up or the circumstances around them.
I will cite an example of how the pain of losing a loved one changes one perspective of life.
Imagine a man leading a group of people trying to promote peace through dialogue in a time of war and suddenly he watches as his friends and family die without being able to act, a person like that will automatically have a wrong thinking that there's no way to rightfully create peace except through violence hence he'll result to violence means and people who don't know his story will automatically assume he was bad from the start.
Let's try to show love to everyone and see the world differently without judging others quickly, a person might actually need a little love to change the way he sees the world and things will go on fine.
Never judge a book by it cover

Yeah,true I love your writeup so educating,it's good to show love to everyone that's the point I love most
That's why we are created but we create laws to distinguish ourselves from others
I sat down one day and pondered on how the THINGS WE'VE HEARD AND LEANT have influenced us on how we see things.
Some religions takes pleasure in killing humans today because of what they've been taught.
The good and bad we know today are as a result of what we've fed our minds
Yeah.. That's how it is.. What is right to you might be wrong to another.. It is just what we are taught from the start of our lives
Yeah, that is true "never judge a book by its cover" if we see him/her doing bad things we woudn't say he/she is bad.. We must know the main reason of it.. Because there is some instances that we are doing bad things bad that is a only good things to do..
The fact that there is good and bad and some people don't know which is which means we really don't know what good or bad. If anyone acts in a way another person feel is wrong, then question should be asked and not a finger being pointed
this is real, when there's no pain we wil not know how we change things and the way on how we r thinking. its like we fail but we chose to get up, without fail we will not be able to go back to our track and we will keep failing and failing as long as we didnt change the ay of our thinking
Pain is essential to grow. Most people that haven't experience pain before will find it difficult to understand the pain of another person or the way they think. That's why it is mostly said.
