I agree that at times goodness could be considered unrealistic, or silly, it can be abused or even punished, but it
cannot be devalued or disregarded.
True goodness is a noble virtue – it comes naturally, it puts no conditions and expects nothing in
return.
In life we all could observe that good deeds usually
return to you tenfold, in more beautiful forms than you would ever imagine and at unexpected times (generally taking you by surprise).
Our elders used to believe that he who sows
goodness reaps friendship, and whoever plants kindness gathers love, and we all might notice, a way or another, that this is pretty much the case.
I am certain that if we were so wise as to
be good to our fellows more often and not to expect anything in return, the world
(if not the entire world, for sure your
world) would probably be a much better place to live, and definitively more
beautiful.
From a scientific perspective, many studies
proved that good people are healthier, because when you are kind and do good things
you feel good, and to me this is the best way to live our humanity
authentically and fully.
