Disappointed being good?

In the world of varied cultures, multiple religion, diverse ethnicities, we have established our own creed, logic and philosophies as to how one can become good. Even an ordinary person on this planet thinks he knows a way to become good. I wish every human being on earth contemplates on becoming good and takes all effort to be a good human being. Sadly, human goodness fails to be good in its true sense. The ultimate breakdown of human failure in becoming good is resulting in undesirable consequences today. Yet, it is important that we strive to unleash the goodness in us in order to heal one another and heal our land from this deadly pandemic outside, and the infection of sin inside us.

To my observation the reason for not being able to sustain the goodness is because we are trying to attach a reward to becoming good. The problem is one expects everything to go well with them when they strive and become good. This thought process is false and not guaranteed. Even the basic premise of religion says, that if you try hard to be good, things will go well for you. It's is a flawed philosophy. If you read the Bible, you will notice that Jesus lived a perfect life, yet He suffered. He suffered during the rule of Pontius Pilate which is historically recorded. It is recorded that after Pilate carefully examined Jesus remarked, “.. I found no fault in this man concerning those things of which you accuse Him.”. (Bible). And if you study the history of Jesus you will notice that He was the epitome of perfection and holiness.

You cannot always attach a reward to anything and everything. Everything cannot be reduced to a commodity though it seems that way. Just because things are not promising, do not abandon your aspiration to become or remain good. Another important factor to be considered is that our goodness has to be attached to God whose moral and ethical values are beyond human comprehension. All I am saying is that it is crucial to relate oneself to God not religion, because if the good in human being is marred, it is religion that needs to be blamed actually. Let me pose this question, who introduced caste system and branding God’s creation as untouchables? Is it not religion? Therefore, if you notice the way we categorize every individual is biased and based on the classification given by religion. 

God should be beyond these man-made scams of classifying people and dumping one another. Reach out to a Savior who exemplified ultimate goodness and complemented it with divine love. Do you know you replicate who you worship? Do not limit God to your imagination attaching reward and benefit to everything. Such a thing can make you happy temporarily and when you realize it's unrewarding, you abandon being good in the process.
