How Good Are You?

Posted on July 6, 2010

There are so many definitions of being "good", even a immoral person can be called as good person. But not all good works are acceptable, some can be rejected. Some are called good person because they are friendly, always smiling, doing giving and sharing, and showing love.

But have you ever wondered that being a good person is not just impressing other human? Only you as human can measure how good you are, nobody knows what is your personality inside except you and your creator. It doesn't mean that if you are good in front of person can also be good for real. The definition of being a good person depends on how you apply high moral standards and readjustment on corrections available for you.

One thing to measure how good are you is when you are alone. You might ask why you are doing good things, what are your intentions in doing such fine works? If your reason is because you are just shy or even you just don't like to ruin a good name of yours, then you might be missing something. When you are alone, are you still good? If you are a youth and you have an access over the internet, do you use it wisely? Are you not looking at immoral websites and not sinning against your own body? Are you still doing good things when you are alone, or only when someone is watching? Or you are just very good when there are special time and moments with fever pitch of your heart that easily fade?

Those question can only be answered by you, remember that if you didn't following what is good when you are alone. You are not practicing fear to your creator. But you obey and honor human rather than God. The only advice that I can share is: Always be readjusted. Once you have personality that need to readjust, always accept the readjustment and do what is good when you are alone and when with other people. Always be real and never hide your hidden personality, be natural. Some people might be associated with bad association before, like me, the only way for readjustment is to leave them. You might be missing them, but being readjusted, will make you realize that you should't regret and you will gain more new onces. Your true friends will correct your mistakes and you must accept the readjustment because those friends who hurt you because of those readjustment and discipline are those who care for you to change for good.
