Everyone assumes they are good. How could they ever accept being bad? Meanwhile, they believe that bad people exist. Yet nobody sees themselves as the “bad” one. —What if the answer is that “bad” never existed at all?
I don’t believe in “good” or “bad.” I believe only in benefit. When two parties argue, each may call themselves “good” and the other “bad.” In reality, the other party is only “bad” from their point of view—because they see the situation as not beneficial to them. Yet from the other side’s perspective, their own stance feels justified and “good.”
Little by little, I’ve grown skeptical of morality and church doctrines, that tell what is good and what is bad. They might mislead people to act against their own best interest by branding it “good”, so that people sacrifice themselves for a feeling of virtue, while those at the top of the hierarchy reap the benefits and come out ahead. That’s why people pleasers have such miserable lives. They were sold the idea of “good.” This pattern of acting has been repeated for so many generations that it had become norm. Morality and church doctrines are simply social structures—frameworks created by society. Society could be organized in countless different ways. I do agree with Jesus’ teachings but not with the interpretations made by religious communities. I also do not believe in devil. It’s a cluster of human fears—a thought-form that appears only in the lives of those who believe in it and resonate with fear. Devil in those people’s lives is very real and might be manifested like any other thought. Depending on focus, people have an option, either to have it or not.
Once you realize that good and bad doesn’t exist, you begin to see life through the lens of benefit and motive. It opens different perspective and helps to make better, more beneficial decisions in life. I believe sharing this information is important, as it smooths the way towards people’s dreams and a fulfilling life.
