Everyone likes a nice person and most of us try to be good in our own lives. Why is it,
then that there are so few people in the world who are good all the time? As
hard as you may try, there are always those rotten days of moments and weakness
where it just feels better to be bad. Whether that takes the form of driving
too fast on the highway, cheating on a test, or “liberating” a box of pens from
the office, we’ve all done things we can’t be proud of or justify. The key to
becoming a truly good person is in accepting the bad parts of your own
personality and admitting that you’re not perfect, not in trying to act like a
saint while the devil on your shoulder whispers in your ear. We all succumb to
temptation sometimes. The next scenario is…
On a stroll through the countryside, you come across a field of
delicious-looking strawberries. Your stomach starts to rumble, and there’s
no one else around. Only a fence stands between you and a free lunch. How
high is that fence?
You sneak into the garden and begin to help yourself to the fruit. How many
berries did you eat?
Suddenly the farmer whose berries you’re stealing appears out of nowhere and starts
yelling at you. What do you say in your own defense?
After all is said and done, how did the berries taste? And looking back, how did
you feel after your berry-stealing adventure was over?
