Why do I do the things that I do. Are the things that I do good or bad? How do I know if the things for which I do are good or bad? How can I determine if the things that I do are good or bad?

My Mamang (Mum/Mom) told me, you will know if you are doing something that is good, when you feel good about what you are doing. When you are doing something bad, you will not only from the bad feeling you feel in what you are doing, or about to do, but your thinking will also be in chaos in trying to rationalize why you are doing something bad.

Not complicated, true or false, on or off! The only thing that is complicated is why I will do something bad, even though I know that is bad, but I do the thing anyway and I receive nothing but pain and misery from the action taken. 🙁
