What is ‘Good’?

Odd times, many meanings, what exactly does good mean? How can I know?

Contrasts help …especially from the me vs. them viewpoint.

Many people speak of good in terms of fun, exciting, new, popular. These are all okay if they don’t cause harm to another’s person, property, or reputation.

A simple equation to consider:

  • Is what I am about to think, say or do, something I’d like somebody else to think, say or do about me?
  • Is what I am hearing another person say or do (that they might consider good and fun) something I’d like somebody else to think say or do about me?
  • Is this ‘good something’ what I’d want thought, said or done to a member of my family?

And if I’m not sure…probably better to just remain silent or not do anything.
