Do Good, Be Good

Do Good and Be Good… This Will Take You To the Freedom and To Whatever Truth There Is.

Buddha

I recently had a conversation with a friend about the afterlife. She wasn’t so sure that there is one. Even having had some channeled readings with various people who had so accurately described some of her loved ones that had passed. I understand this. Even with the experiences I have had with the Other Side, therecan be a seed a doubt that appears at times, when I ask myself, “Was that real?” The short answer is, “Yes it is.”

But as I explained to my friend, it is my belief that you don’t need to believe. All you really need to do is to be good and do good. I think there is a judgment day when we pass, in which we review our lives. It isn’t a judgment like a finger pointing at us, telling us how bad we are. It is more of our own self-reflection, as we review the opportunities in life where we had to make choices, and the path we took. Did we do what we did for the good of others, or did we do it for our own selfish motives that would adversely affect others? I don’t think we will be punished by God for our actions, like a parent punishes a child. Instead, we will be hard on ourselves, which as we all know, is more punishing than anything another person can “do” to us.

And so the lesson, whether a faith practitioner, an agnostic, or an atheist, is to be good and do good. It’s the right thing to do.

Peace
