A Dividing Line

What makes a good person "good?"

The demeanor by which we act is but an ambiguous sense of what reality holds for the life and value of any certain person. In a sense, what we hold to be "good," is the dividing line between reality and morality.

Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "The greatest narcotics of Europe were alcohol and Christianity." Although the repercussions of early Christianity are still felt in our day, it cannot be withheld that it has done just as much, if not more good--and so the point of view of some, becomes the judgment of others...

Is choice the process by which we conspire to achieve? Or is it the ability to judge what others beget through merits of their own unconscious valor?

If we are to contrivance the ideals of others as to make them our own, why then become individualistic if the portal of opportunity closes upon the slightest whim?

  2. Anchorman or course. Sorry about it being convoluted, but it's more about the line between morality and good and where that line is drawn. I concluded that it is really interpretational for everyone, but there should be a greater good that drives us to the same morality. Thanks for reading dear.
