The Value of Being a Good Person in Today’s World

It all depends on your perspective. Personally, I don't believe there is a stark difference between good and bad, as there is only myself. However, this question invites us to explore the value of being a good person, which is certainly worth considering.

My Attitude

From my point of view, being good or bad is a moot point. My selfish and libertine lifestyle has led me to achieve both my personal desires and respect. Many people may label me as brave or even kind, but in reality, it has only added inconvenience to my life, and a few have labeled me as nice. However, it's not uncommon to find myself dealing with people who grew bored with me and became obsessed with getting rid of me.

Some people might argue that you can gain benefits by being a good person, such as a reward from a deity in the afterlife or taking pleasure in the suffering of others who are more selfless. However, for me, the benefits are more personal. I find satisfaction in having a clear conscience and not worrying about my actions.

Personal Satisfaction and Inner Peace

The greatest reward of being a good person is the inner personal accomplishment. Our society tends to be more accepting of evil and greed, but to be a good person, you need to be prepared for the constant testing of your ethical behavior. People will try to provoke you into anger to prove their point that there are no good people left.

The personal satisfaction comes from the knowledge that you have a clear conscience and nothing to worry about. While you may not gain notoriety, the legacy you leave behind is one of ethical behavior and personal integrity. You make the world a better place, your guardian angels happy, and help your own soul.

Conclusion

The true benefit of being a good person is the inner peace and personal accomplishment. In a world that rewards selfishness, it's essential to hold onto the values that make you a better person. Choose to be good and set an example for others to follow.
