Well, I guess another example is if one's emotions are hurt, and the person does not want to continue doing something to improve, when they can overcome that. I have heard and said many times that pain, which probably includes emotional pain is an illusion. On the illusion part of what I said, I think our minds are not as accustomed to bad things that don't kill us, let alone ruin our lives (otherwise, too much abuse and something that ruins one's life, whether or not it is beyond repair, is not a good thing, so those do not count), even though they can help in some way if we accept them and use them to improve ourselves. I just think the pain from one's feelings getting hurt is an illusion, an obstacle to getting better for humans, like getting one's reputation tarnished for doing something bad, but as long as it is not too bad and you can repair it, that is okay.(September 16, 2023 at 3:24 pm)ShinyCrystals Wrote: Very well, if that is what you want.
For one example, if you are happy with the business you own, that is good. If your business is doing good for others, that is good too.
BUT if your business is doing good for you, but is harming others (like with pollution), and you do nothing about to to keep it being good and avoid getting in trouble, that is bad, right?
Another example of good being bad is when you feel love for someone, but it is unnecessarily high and it leads you to stalk someone or even go as far as harm them to keep them with you, or loving someone to the point of dangerous obsession.
By the way, I am not saying anything I say as truth, just a bit of worry for something about humanity.
Good mixed with bad?
Now, on what I said about good things being like drugs, good things don't usually cause physical harm in the way drugs are, but I do think they can blind one if they enjoy it too much. Like someone wanting to do a hobby like playing and not do anything else but that, because they enjoy it too much.
But I digress. I am only showing concern here that some humans do not understand this. That is all. But I guess it is more of bad resulting from good rather than a direct mix of it. Plus, good is not absolute here, as I mean it as if it were relative between people.
