Goodness comes from inside of you, it is about how we treat other people. It is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. It's important to think good, speak good, and do good. If we want to see positive change in the world, then we need to connect to goodness. We need to change ourselves first. Try this both in personal and professional life, to make a positive change and do good.. Our goodness doesn't come suddenly but it comes solely from thinking about goodness; our wickedness from thinking about wickedness. We too are the victims of our own contemplation because we are too dependent on the thoughts that come first in our minds when we see others. If thoughts are good for others obviously we would be polite and good to others. We are each made for goodness, love and compassion. Our lives are transformed as much as the world is when we live with these truths. we think about others and what we are? So we need to change our thoughts in a positive way to be humble humans.
