Be A Good Person

Just thought I would pen down some thoughts I had in my mind, thoughts which have been there for as long as I can remember. It can be easily said that the world has gone from bad to worse. War, murder, theft, rape, corruption, etc., are rampant everywhere we go. Still everyone talks about God and prayer. So is it that there are half the people on our planet who are good and God-fearing, and the other half are the bad ones? Well it is not so simple. Things are not so straightforward.

Let's put it in simple terms. Is it better to be a religious person, God-fearing and pious, or shouldn't we be good human beings first. Let me tell you my view. It is easier to pray all day than it is to be a decent person. There is temptation to do wrong at every step we take in life, daily. All for selfish personal gains. I would not want to be a person who comes out from Church and then starts abusing someone, or thinking of ways to harm another being. I would rather be at home, or out somewhere doing good. People ask me, you don't go to Church regularly. I say, I don't. But a matter of fact is that there was a point in my life when I went to Church every single day. Yeah now I don't go so often, and that pricks me. But I am proud of being a good person more than anything. I believe that's what God prefers, than just prayers.

Don't get me wrong. I am not advocating for the fact that people should not go to their places of worship regularly. Am just saying that if you do, it's great, if you don't, no one should hold that against you. But the important thing is that, be a good being, never think bad for anyone, do good whenever you can. Remember, God is watching. God Bless You All.
