Goodness or the state of being good is not a "holy" status enshrined to a very few in the society who adheres strictly to the commonly accepted norms of the society or a moral code. Goodness is not being socially accepted as a figure of "good character" or an epitome of ideals. It is only a minimal,masked face of good. That is not it.
It is necessarily the light that glows in your heart.
The test of goodness is when you are doubted, abandoned and branded "bad" by the society, by your dear ones, and you still sustain that glow in your heart and keep your smile on your face. When you continue to spread light in the lives of those who still hurt you.
It is especially something that is encoded in the hearts of all born in the human race. It is the light of God encircling our souls-all of our souls. The difference lies in the way we perceive this light-and the way we choose to spread it. Some of us never see the light already in us and go after flicker lights outside, not even realizing the elixir within ourselves. While some others do see this, but tend to compare.
But it is the same. One and the same. Our duty is to keep the light burning, even when storms arise, and trust in our own light, even when the dark world outside cant see it.
