Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Doing Good Things Shouldn't Just Come From A Desire To Look Good To People

By Matthew Spring

When you make a resolve to be a good person, you should not do the good things just because you know there are eyes watching you. Do them even when no one is.

It does not require the backing of the masses and approval for you to be termed as a socially upright person. Contrary to that, you may have people following you and encouraging you to do bad things.

There is always some dictation by society about what people should do. Integrity allows one to judge and see beyond pleasing the crowds.

Good things done out of the blues are different from god things done out of integrity and instinct. When integrity is brought into the picture, people will have no difficulty in complying with a certain standard of ethics.

If you really appreciate the sense of integrity, you will effortlessly start working with it as your daily attitude. You will fearlessly walk through certain situations and change of scenarios.

There is no room for guilt and ill feeling when you do the right stuff. Why would you feel doubt or a sense of apprehension when you know you are on the right direction? What you feel afterwards is the key. You should do everything without any slight craving for some good deed in return.

Integrity will determine how well you blend with other people. That is the bet time to see how well integrity pays off. Generally, those who are known as people of good character will stand out as the most trusted to do the right things. By getting along with [people you are assured good friends.

If you were a person of great integrity, everyone would want to be associated with you. The fact that you project goodness and always shine a light of hope to people that come your way will make you a positive character. This will cause people to remember you always for your deeds, long after you are gone.
