The truly good is too good to be true
Why Should You Be Good?
Goodness was never meant to make any sense!
Goodness is never attractive. It is just good for you. That’s all.
Goodness doesn’t have the glitz and glamor of evil. It doesn’t even have the feel-good factor of meanness. Goodness just exists in its pure essence. Wholesome things are never advertised. They are always underrated. And those things that are marketed extensively are in reality not as good as they sound.
Look all around you for examples.
Foods like Pasta, Pizza, and noodles are marketed widely as something delicious. However, it does not contain enough nutrition that your body may require.
Boost, Bournvita, or other such health drinks are touted for their fortified nutrients. But they may never be truly as good for your immunity or stamina as much as your simple homemade Kanji. Yet Kanji is never really advertised. At least not using mouthwatering ads like for a fancy product.
A cup of buttermilk is far more nutritious and delicious than a can of Pepsi. Yet no one makes much ado about having a glass of chilled buttermilk during the summer.
You may see a hundred new fancy restaurants pop up in town. It could be raining cool offers showcasing an entire array of Photoshop-edited menus. But I am sure no one can beat the goodness in your mother’s cooking. Simply because she prepares it out of love and keeping nutrition in mind.
However, we need a ‘Mother’s Day’ to be reminded of her love.
Everything has an image in this world that is quite different and independent from what it truly is.
Silence is interpreted as weakness and fierceness as strength. Calmness is interpreted as dullness while chaos and activity are understood as intelligent. Money is interpreted as a success while love, affection, and making time for others is considered old-fashioned and probably foolish.
And yet we know the strength that silence can bring. Or the immense clarity that calmness can offer. The world knows too many examples of too many unhappy multi-millionaires who have ended their lives.
Goodness can be boring or even humiliating at times. But goodness or Satvik or wholesomeness can bring ultimate mental health and happiness.
So friends…goodness is worth the chase!
