The Good

The Good

A Poem by Mary Christabel George
"

I hope too much of goodness just doesn't confuse you. ;)

"
The Good

Being religious cannot be the guarantee of being good.
Being good cannot be the guarantee of being religious.

Being good doesn't give you a license to be loved.
Not being good doesn't give you the license not be loved for.

The point is

Whether you are religious or not
Whether you are loved or not
To be good is good...!

And if you perform the act of goodness
with the intention of being rewarded.
Then, your goodness holds no value.

So be good & do good.
