       Goodness cannot be defined as something that is black and white. However, if I was to define when someone is “good”, I’d say that it is primarily when someone has found harmony in society and feels fulfilled with themselves. This means that they feel happy with how they are living their lives and whom they are surrounded by. It also resulted from who can benefit from them. 

        I also believe that goodness is equality between the environment and all of the creatures that live on it (that includes our human species). I believe that one of the greatest down falls of our human race is the mindset that humans are superior to all other races and therefor are allowed to treat other species with disrespect. Goodness also comes with generosity for those who need it. Being able to see that you might have more than enough and sharing your wealth with those who deserve it is also an important part of being “good”.

        However, when it comes to more detailed issues that arise in life, good is never so simply defined. There are always going to be pros and cons to every decision no matter what it is. Our world is based on chance. Say, for example, you make a sandwich (for a very simple example). You can either use peanut butter and jelly or salami and mayonnaise. Whichever one you choose there is always something that can go wrong. Maybe the peanut butter will get stuck in your throat and the smell will follow you around all day. On the other hand, maybe the mayonnaise has gone bad and you could get sick. While this example may seem small, the idea is the same for many examples within life. 

        Good is can never be so easily defined. Just like people, every decision is never black and white. Every decision you make will create a chain reactions of positive and negative events and that is how life works. By putting things in boxes of good and evil, you are limiting yourself to a world of dimensions and shapes.
