If One Does Not Know Good, How Will S/He Do Good?

A profoundly simple concept, yet illustrating a truth that many seem unaware of.

Goodness is not according to your religion. Religion is simply a set of tenets to help people make decisions, and hopefully to help people live a righteous life. Religion can be used for good or evil. It can help people find their path to a closer relationship with the Divine, or it can delude people into thinking that they themselves are divine, and better than those who do not believe as they do.

Videos such as this one have relatively few views. People seek videos where others are exploiting themselves/being exploited, rather than seeking enlightenment. In today's world, many have lost their way. They are being taught to seek self-aggrandizement rather than spiritual fulfillment. This behavior is being modeled for them at every turn.

If one does not know good, how will he or she do good?

The answer is simple. It is time to teach the value of doing good for others. Stop worshiping empty values. Stop seeking glory for the self.
