HOW I INTERPRET THE TERM 'GOOD'


GOOD is a word that everyone has been familiar from their youngest memory. 
We are told from a young age what is GOOD and what is BAD e.g. characters/people "goodies and baddies', food, words, behaviour. As we grow older and learn more about the world and what it contains, the lines between good and bad are blurred and what we perceive as GOOD becomes a matter of opinion. 
something which is GOOD takes into account; taste, views, morals, likes, dislikes and experiences. 


It is in our nature to strive to be good, good means acceptance and development.
