More From Elsa Maxwell

You can be good for the mere sake of goodness; you cannot be bad for the mere sake of badness. you can do a kind action when you are not feeling kind and when it gives you no pleasure, simply because kindness is right; but no one ever did a cruel action simply because cruelty is wrong - only because cruelty is pleasant or useful to him, in other words, badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. and there must be something good first before it can be spoiled.
Kindness Giving Feelings
Aside from higher considerations, charity often operates as a vastly wise and prudent principle-a great safeguard to its possessor. men have committed murder for jealousy's sake, and anger's sake, and hatred's sake, and selfishness' sake, and spiritual pride's sake; but no man that ever i heard of, ever committed a diabolical murder for sweet charity's sake. mere self-interest, then, if no better motive can be enlisted, should, especially with high-tempered men, prompt all beings to charity and philanthropy.
Wise Spiritual Sweet
The only thing that really matters is that there be an action of goodness, love and intelligence in living. is goodness individual or collective, is love personal or impersonal, is intelligence yours, mine or somebody else? if it is yours or mine then it is not intelligence, or love, or goodness. if goodness is an affair of the individual or of the collective, according to one's particular preference or decision, then it is no longer goodness.

Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless. christmas dinner's dark and blue. when you stop and try to see it from the turkey's point of view. sunday dinner isn't sunny. easter feasts are just bad luck. when you see it from the viewpoint of a chicken or a duck. oh how i once loved tuna salad pork and lobsters, lamb chops too till i stopped and looked at dinner from the dinner's point of view.
Easter Sunday Dark
Goodness has no opposite. most of us consider goodness as the opposite of the bad or evil and so throughout history in any culture goodness has been considered the other face of that which is brutal. so man has always struggled against evil in order to be good; but goodness can never come into being if there is any form of violence or struggle.

I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. now i know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.
