Have I done any good in the world today?

Good is subjective. Maybe the good you have done was to keep yourself from doing good. As a society we have made a list of what is good and what is bad. And yet, BOTH prevail. Why is that ? It is because the truth is that neither is what we have defined it as. If you had said something kind or helped someone or been courteous and gentle maybe you would have offended someone else. Maybe someone would have thought it inappropriate. Maybe they would have thought you were being self servant. On the flip side, we must define. But we must also be aware that we don't always see the results of the actions we take.
