Topic: Thoughts:Good Vs. Bad
A Clearer Understanding "Good"/"Bad "Negative"/Positivef Thoughts:
Hopefully you will find here a clearer understanding of the definition of Positive (Good) Thoughts and Negative (Bad) Thoughts so that we might better understand ourselves, others, our behaviors, our community, our world, our interactions with others and our chosen lifestyle.
It is my perception that each of us has the right, freedom and responsibility to choose what path we take in Life and our beliefs. Because of that freedom we, alone, are held accountable for the choices we make and suffer the consequences whether it be good or bad.
I personally find this to be a good test for me in making decisions pertaining to my daily life, my thoughts, my actions, my interaction with my community, my friends, my family, my relationships, mankind in general, my personal beliefs regarding religion, God, (Higher Being) and the personal choice of lifestyle that works best for me.
I find that whatever I am focused on whether it is thought or deed does not bring harm to anyone or anything on this planet and produces good then it is the right thing for me to do. However, if it brings hurt, injury, pain, suffering or degrades another in any way then I choose not to engage in it.
“A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.”
Mahatma Gandhi quotes (Indian Philosopher, internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest, 1869-1948)
