To Be Good Or Not To Be Good?

To be good or not to be good? That is the question. Life is certainly full of choices and it can be hard to make decisions at times. Being a good person can be tough while being a bad guy seems so much easier and much ‘cooler'.

Some say that nice guys don’t last. Well I chose to be a ‘goodie’ good person for the past 3 years and I’m still standing. I may not know what lies in the future but I had rather be a blessing to the people around me then a walking disaster or a pest. What brings joy to me is the smile on people’s face and I certainly know that it brings joy to my heavenly father too. It sure isn’t easy being a good guy, some people just hate good guys and there’s really nothing you can do about it except pray for them haha.

So have I been a bad guy? Yes definitely, when I was younger. Back then, I was a little haywire and I did a lot of stupid things. It was only when I hit the age of 15 when I finally saw the light! Playing as a bad guy was cool and all but it really didn’t get me anywhere. I did extreme things like throwing frogs into my ‘nemesis house’, picking the locks of doors to rooftops back in my previous condo, going heads on with the security guards. You can never imagine me doing all that if you see me as the person I am now. I probably look like an angel=) yeah right. Anyways that is not the main point. The main point is this: I may have the attention and ‘friends’ but I felt like an empty shell that was lost and alone inside.


Why the sudden change then? I don’t really have a reason why I guess, it just seem so natural that when I’m nice to people, I just feel super good. It’s like an in-built trait in me and I guess maturity plays a part too. Through out the past 3 years, I have seen much more blessings in my life, and I really thank God for all He has done for me. Being a good guy isn’t that all boring, you can be fun to the people around you. I realize that you make more true friends when you are sincere and down-to-earth with them. God blesses the good abundantly and in my case, he has blessed me with GOOD friends that I can trust, as well as a peaceful family. There is certainly more to come but yeah, the blessings will come at God's timing.


I firmly believe that the nice people would last in the long run. Don’t believe me? Then I challenge you to try it out!

It may sound kind of cheesy, but good people makes the world a better place! (So Don, if you ever want to try anything stupid: think twice AGAIN, tell me or don’t even try!)





So who would you be today?
To be good or not to be good…all the time? That is the question…
