38. Transcendental: Goodness

In this weeks episode we are continuing on to the next transcendental- Goodness.  Goodness something that cannot be made or taken away it simply is what is. All being has an innate goodness but we must recognize that though everything has goodness there is a hierarchy to it. Broccoli, for example, does not have the same goodness as a child. They are profoundly different and we cannot compare them at the same level. 

In today's society it has become much more difficult to know what is good. What I want/desire is not often what is good. We can find temporary fulfillment in material things or immoral things and confuse that for what is objectively good. To the extent that when someone gives us a healthy sandwich and juice we might think it is actually bad because our desires have been trained to want deep fried Oreos and soda.  The Oreos are now the 'good' and the healthy foods for our body are thought to be 'bad'.

The same is true in relationships. What is often good for our relationship is often the hardest thing. For example, I know it is good to be faithful to my spouse, to uplift him, and honor him but my desire might lead me to want to do other things because those things seem 'good' for me in the moment. It is our duty to know what is good and see how that goodness leads us to God- the ultimate Good!

“God didn’t give Adam and Eve the right to decide what was good and evil. He gave them the right to choose between good and evil.”
