Why human beings?

To effect goodness, we cannot shy away from work. Material and spiritual works. Material work is charity, spiritual work is humility. Material work is service to eros, filial and agape through the sacrifice of our time, talents and treasures. Spiritual work is lowliness, nothingness, littleness and simplicity.Material work is more about humanity. Spiritual work is more about being. That is why we are human beings!

An Examined Life

Why would a great majority depend on the media or hearsay and a few given to studies and still a lesser few given to a life of conscience?A good film is good, a good book is better, but an inspiring character is best for the advancement of goodness!

Goodness

We should strive to be influenced by the positive aspect of a person's character. The temptation of our humanity is that we often take goodness for granted and we get influenced more by negative attitudes.Then we are locked in a cycle of ignorance and sin which only ends in nihilism. The practice of virtue consists in being influenced by the good of the other person and excusing his/her ills. it is only in doing this that we discard evil and perpetuate goodness. He who is adept at seeing the bad aspect of the other is he whom Christ says : even what he has would be taken away from him. We build our humanity only by the practice of seeing goodness!
