Thursday Quik Thought: Badness and Goodness

Caddyshack. I haven’t seen this movie in a while but this part of it came into mind recently:

“Son, there are two forces in the world– Goodness and Badness. You need to decide which you want to be. Do you want to be good?” – Judge Smails to Spalding. (close-enough paraphrase).

The difference between being overwhelmed by badness and being an agent of goodness is a matter of perception.  You can look at the world at find as much badness as you like, but this is not a good way to look at it.  A better way is to see the badness as opportunity for goodness to do its work, or for us to do goodness.

May the Lord’s will be done,
