Goodness

At times, I imagine how “Goodness” would be feeling at this point in time.

Imagine your utter definition being taken; hijacked, raped, twisted, turned and ripped off in gazillion pieces to suit 7billion perceptions.

Goodness is choked and suffocated in the chambers of relativity. It is dragged to the courts of highest illusions and questioned on its existence. It is brutally murdered in the verandas of our mind. It is tied in chains and shackles and humiliated on the roads of “pseudo intellectualism and development”.

It is flirted and tossed around in the candle lit jails of romanticism. It is fascinated and painted on the canvas 

to please the worldly beholder.

And somewhere, somehow, the Definition of Goodness stays. Intact. Protected. Breathing its natural breath. No matter how much 7 billion of us try to burry its real Definition, it surfaces; miraculously and magically. It lets us do all we want to do with it. It allows us to twist it and turn it till only we get tired.

And once, we’re tired; it resurfaces again. Shining its eternal light. Imparting wisdom and sharing secrets with those who are truly in search of it.

It is by far, one of those few surviving concepts of the world which have fought evil not by just proactively combating it, but by silently staying firm and intact in face of torture.

Goodness is not being good to all. Goodness is the wisdom of differentiating the Light from the absence of Light. Goodness is not bowing down to the master evils of the world regardless of what they do. Goodness is keeping your head high in face of oppression and injustice.

Goodness does not take the short cut of forgiving all. It says know who to forgive and who not. For if you mistake Goodness with forgiving all; it will give evil yet another chance to claim victory.

Goodness is identifying the Real Regret and Apology from a fake one. It says to forgive those who deserve to be forgiven; for their surrender to Goodness can turn generations of potential Evil to a mass awakening of societies.

Goodness is so independent yet so powerful a concept, that evil camouflaged as humanity is still insecure of it. Evil disguised as Niceness still demands the approval of Goodness.
