Generally, we are good people, and we all have good will. But, we know that it does not reflect always in our words, attitudes, and actions. We know what to do, and what should have been done, but it does not happen. Is it because everyone does in the other way?
Doing good is not just some deeds of
goodness. It also includes our desire to behave well, accept others, be
patient, tolerate, maintain peace, ensuring growth. Etc. Some time, we may be
lacking courage to do the good that is to be done. That first daring may free
us for moving in the right direction. Perhaps we are ashamed of ourselves. Am I
to do the good works? I am unworthy to do that. Ask for the embrace of God to
feel the worth of ourselves. If we are envious, it may put us into competition
and desire to defeat. It will not allow us to walk a humble path in
relationships. If we are dominated by ego we will lack the freedom to do good
even if want to.
A plant which has less water and nutrition
surely lacks the capacity for growth, flowering and fruition. When we lack life,
personally or as a society, we too will not be able to express the signs of
life. I want to live to the full, but just can’t. Life will show its early
signs of where we are moving towards. It will show our good orientations and
freedom to do good, or our irritation, suspicion, prejudices and competitive
spirit that hinder our doing good. 'Be in the present' is a familiar phrase for us, But are we able to interpret it well? Interpret these signs as early as possible,
sense the richness or the needs, make our efforts, trust in the Lord. Our interpretation shapes the attitudes not
only of ours, but of the whole of our generation. Why do you not know how to
interpret the present time?
