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!
