Why are we congenial and good?  |
|
I am here again with something that has been bugging me for a few weeks now. I have often wondered about the societal influence and pressure that we all go through in life. Some people do good and be good to avoid the shame of being regarded as a 'bad human of the society'. When people do good, do they do it just for the sake of it or for the good name and blessing that others would shower on him as a consequence of it?
Am I confusing you? Actually I am bit confused here. I have found that many around die to hear about their goodness and how good they are. Nothing wrong in it, as long as they are doing good. It's the goodness that matters at the end of the day.
In a nutshell, my question is, What makes us congenial? Is it because we are just so or are we affected with what others going to think, if we are not?
Thanks. That was quite a blabber!

mimpi1911 (8131) | 2 months ago | Not really. Thanks for your response. My colleague keeps telling me that she had to be nice, she had to be good because otherwise her reputation will be affected. The fear of being;labeled as improper and indecent kills her. When I asked her what would she have done if there were no pressures. She answered that she would have been congenial as long as she would want may be after that she would come out of it!

2. michaeldadona (3787) | 2 months ago | When people do good, do they do it just for the sake of it or for the good name and blessing that others would shower on him as a consequence of it? The beauty of being human is able to shift, either be in 'got state' or 'devil state'. Whatever, both states done by human with comment interests completely with self resolution and confident. Which results the differences in meanings between human and people.
Am I confusing you? No and not at all, in fact, a great new point and a kind of nature nurture learning for all to mirror ourselves for which zone of life for an individual to select.
What makes us congenial? System, a life system when both behemoth or enormous energy runs in both different parties. Making the definition of we be us and us be all.
Is it because we are just so or are we affected with what others going to think, if we are not? Caring by tantamount supports of telling and sharing values between both parties by means of consensus decision making is a great human team building and will never split.
Finally, a life a system.

3. starscream (618) | 2 months ago | Humans are selfish and hence they find interest in other humans to get their work done. When they get bored they seek others help or support or need. We all need each others help to survive. We just are being with people for the sake of survival and to get work done else there is no need of people to form society and religions and many other social things.
We are selfish and fantasy people so we form environment around us to be comfortable. So this is the reason we are congenial and good.

Hatley (21442) | 2 months ago | oh my thats a sad commentary on life. some people really care about others, and want to help because that is part of them. these people do not want any praise at all. I am saying we are not all selfish.I worked most of my life as a nurse's aid and I did it because it fulfilled something in me that justified my taking up space on this earth.

5. gmatthews (159) | 2 months ago | I think when people do something good just for personal gain it shows. People who are genuine and like to do good for others do not need to be praised and made a big deal out of. They do it because they want to and it's part of who they are. When I do something for someone I do not care if they know that it was me that did it or not. I am just happy that I put a smile on their face or that I could help them.

Hatley (21442) | 2 months ago | hi gmatthews my sentiments exactly. doing good for kudos is so insincere, and the person that was done good to, knows darned well that person could really care less. If I help someone it doesnt matter if anyone knows,I do it because I want to and because maybe I can brighten someone else's day.

6. drannhh (7543) | 2 months ago | Hi Mimpi! Well, I just think it is common sense. Why would anyone want to go around bragging how bad they are? We should not be decent just in order to avoid shame, but because decency is...I cannot resist saying this...BETTER than badness. Because it is GOOD, lol.

| 7. Illyria (17) | 2 months ago | Part of the reason I don't like to go out and "socialize" is because of all that B.S. I want to just open up to people..but I'm a very quiet and personal individual. That's why the internet is such a great thing! You can get right down to the basics and say to someone, "Hey, I'm an Agnostic (or whatever) and here's why..". You can come out and say, I love Metallica! Or I hate [whatever]. People spend so much time small talking..without actually inviting that person to get a chance to actually know the REAL them. Also, if you go to something as trivial as a grocery store and don't reply with a courteous answer when the cashier says "thank you" or something, you're supposed to feel like sh*t. It's all on the surface..and it's as shallow as Paris hilton. When someone says, how's your day going? and other small talk, I want to ask if they'll let me sit down with them and talk about things that matter. I want to get to KNOW you if you're going to keep talking to me.?. Am I the only one who feels like this? It's all or nothing for me when it comes to people.

8. dawnald (10149) | 2 months ago | I think it depends on the person. Ideally, it is so that the person you are being nice to gets some benefit. Of course, you'd also hope that you'd be treated nicely.

| 9. sirestryder (22) | 2 months ago | It's more towards what others will think of us or what the result of it will be.For example,have you ever met someone who is very religious or goes to church often yet don't practice what they preach?Like old ladies in church who sing the loudest yet are mean.If you're going to do something good it should be because YOU feel it is not society.Also "bad human of society" is just a perspective from the viewpoint of others.

10. Hatley (21442) | 2 months ago | mimipi that was good blabber,so there. I think it all depends on how we were brought up as to how we become what we are. I grew up among medical people who were dedicated to helping the sick. I was also taught it is better to give then receive also my mom showed me that if you do good you do not go around pounding your chest and asking for kudos,you will be appreciated and that should be enough. I do not agree that the dogooders who do this just to get applause are all that great, as there is a lot of insincerity there and sort of a looking down your nose at the ones you do good for. I would much rather see someone do good because they wanted to.I have never much worried about what others think as much as about what I think of myself. Can I look at myself in the mirror and not be ashamed? If I can that is great.
