"Are we meant to be bad?"

If we were meant to be 'bad', why do we feel bad doing it? Why does doing 'good' feel good? Let's put 'religion' and non religion aside for a moment... Ask yourself "why do I do bad?" I know some of you may say, "because its 'fun'", "because I like it", "because it gives me a rush!", "because doing good is boring", "its a habit", "because it helps me forget things"... So why do you feel bad afterwards? Whether it effects you mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, it effects you negatively? I mean temporary fixes such as,  reaching unfulfilling heights, you find yourself never satisfied or satisfied for a moment and then asking yourself "was that worth it?", "how am I going to pay my bills now?!", "what's going on with me?", "this isn't me!", "I feel guilty now...", "back to reality"... Waking up the next morning with a headache, can't hardly move, everything taste bad, and just right down lazy, interesting how we refer that to a "good night". A bit of a contradiction don't you think considering how you really feel at that moment... These are just a few samples of what we consider 'fun', 'exciting', 'feel good' moments. So tell me how does one continue or voluntarily not think we were meant to be 'good'? Or better yet, how does one not recognize that perhaps there is a higher power who may have a strong hold on you, and has now compromised your way of thinking to continue to bring you down, destroy not just the people who love you, but yourself?! How does one not believe there is a higher power that encourages you to be who you really are, doing 'good'. Something that actually builds your self-esteem, your finances, your health, your families peace, your peace...
            It's so easy for people to believe in evil, science, saints, how bout the super natural, miracles, the unexplainable things like love, intuition, contentment, peace... We get so caught up on trying to figure everything out, depending on scientific explanations, praising people we don't even know, but we can't believe in a God who gave us a manual that explains all the things we question, better yet gives a couple rules to help us stay in line so we can feel good about ourselves. Is it really that difficult to believe someone loved you so much he died for you, so you could live a life of decision making. Interesting how he gave you the choice to believe even in him. Let's say he isn't the 'truth', he doesn't exist, he is all a fallacy. What do you have to loose? I mean he's giving you the manual to help you feel better about yourself... What do you have to loose if you don't believe? How bout you take a moment to find out... Look at yourself, are you happy, can you seriously say you have peace in your heart and soul? Are you content in your life and where it's going? Do you genuinely feel good about the decisions you are making in opposition of what he rather you do so you would feel good about yourself..? Compare and contrast and make your own assessment and you decide. It's all a choice, the choice to be happy or sad...

  1. Love this blog! I know God created us. we are designed for good..for love,peace,kindness,goodness, and everything positive. We feel bad when we make bad decisions and sin because HE created us and wants us to know the difference. And when we feel that difference it's true confirmation he gave up his only son for our salvation. He wants us to be Christ like so we can live our eternal life with him. Thanks for sharing girl
