Can you do good without someone getting hurt?

Question

Even Jesus failed. When he failed to fight back, he crucified himself. To save us, he died. In order for people to live, they must kill. In order for people to live they must die. In order to live, you must suffer by somebody else's hands or live knowing that you are hurting somebody else. Am I wrong? Am I right? Am I both? Am I neither?

By being good to those around you, you are hurting yourself. By being good to yourself, you are hurting everyone around you. Perfection does not exist. Goodness is an illusion.

Answer 1

you are neither right or wrong


It depends on the people around you
and more importantly: what YOU believe to be true
as reality ( as you percieve it) is shaped by those
beliefs!

Answer 2

Jesus did not fail, the Jews failed to recognize Him, He did not fail when He was crucified, that is why He came to earth. If Jesus had not of died on that cross, there would be no hope for the Gentiles. People kill because they want to, unless it is during war time and then it is either kill or be kill. Yes we all have to die, that is just the way it is, after satan introduce sin into the world, the wages of sin is death. I try not to hurt anyone, but I am only human and sometimes I might say something that does hurt someone, I can only pray to my Lord for guidance and TRY to live the way He showed us to live.

Answer 3

First Jesus didn't fail. He didn't crucify himself, where did you get that cocka mamie idea. Second , if you don't create bad karma or you live in the spirit in the present moment being totally aware when you are acting you are beyond karma into grace. Suffering will always be here ,like joy, without one the other would have no meaning. Ying/Yang. Male/female. hot/cold. get it? Whether you do good or bad someone is always suffering, just don't be the cause of it, be on the side of helping. You will suffer too, at some point, but perhaps you will have good karma and someone will help you.

Answer 4

*sigh* This kida goes under the label 'can I save everyone'? You can, but there's no point in saying that you'd get hurt. Even if you don't get PHYSICALLY harmed, there is always something that pays for it in its' stead. Such as, for instance, you're on your way to work for a mandatory meeting, and someone across the street needs help replacing a tire. In helping, you don't get hurt, but you'd be killing off precious time you could have used running to the meeting.

And of course, you have to live through someone else's sufferings...your mothers. But as the saying goes, 'what doesn't kill us makes us stronger'. It's an experiece of birth, but both you and the mother learn to get along. Life doesn't always ride on people's sufferings.

It's all based upon how you see your priorities, and what you are willing to sacrifice. In sacrificing to gain, you are making the choice to do so.

....So I'd say you're neither right, or wrong. I liked answering this question, if it helps. ^_^

Answer 5

You ARE stupid . Jesus did not fail . He did not crucify himself , that was done by the evil people. People probably like you. I am living and not suffering by someone else's hands. I am also not hurting anyone else. I help people as much as I can. Jesus knew that he was going to be crucified and he died for all of our sins. He did exactly what he was supposed to do. What do you have against him ? He has done only good for all of us.

Answer 6

I am afraid that Jesus did not crucify Himself. He died that he may raise again. You are talking about the sins of the world here. Yes you can do good for someone without getting hurt. In the world of mankind who believes little to say the least or nothing to say the most you are both. You cannot do good for the entire world because evil reigns rampant in this world among mankind.

Answer 7

Jesus didn't fail. He was born to die. I'd say he succeeded.

And yes, doing a favor for a neighbor, or giving loose change to the beggar on the street corner can both be done without someone getting hurt.

Even sacrificial giving doesn't implicitly require someone getting hurt. Giving up that day at the movies so you can buy a gift for someone isn't really getting hurt.

Answer 8

There are many times when doing good feels good and does not hurt.

However, to correct or fix... or change major wrongs one faces adversity.

See, the "Major Wrongs" ARE major wrongs because people either 1) ignore them, 2) like them that way, 3) are ignorant of them.

People who ignore it ignore it causee they don't want to take responsiblity that they themselves would feel they have to if they acknowledge it.

People who like it that way don't want anyone changing it.

And people who are ignorant to it feel dumb for not noticing it, and no one likes to feel dumb so they often fall into the "ignore it" or denial catigory after that.

To fix Major Wrongs you have to disrupt the flow for other people... and they don't like it. Even if it's for their own good and they themselves believe or know it is for their own good... many still would rather stay with the old then go with what's "right".

-----------

To fix a wrong you have to reveal the Trueth.

Trueth is like Death it has stages and people can pass through each stage in the blink of an eye, or they can stay in one stage forever... or any shade between:

Stage One: Denial:
"This isn't happening!", "It ain't True!", "Your lying!", "That can't be!", "It doesn't make sense!", "How can that happen!"

Stage Two: Anger:
At this stage people get angree at themselves, angree at the messanger, angree at the person who died, angree at the person who killed the person.... angree at the person who told them about it, angree at the government... whatever..

They get angree and they direct it at something. If your the messanger, your in the line of fire for the anger.. and this is where messangers usually get stoned, hung, or crusified.


Stage Three: Depression:
"Why should I bother living!?", "It's no use!", "There's nothing you can do about.. nothing I can do about it!", "Can't change the world!", "Can't fight politics!"

Stage Four: Acceptance:
At this stage people basically accept the world for what it is, and they move on with their lives. They realize that death is part of life... that bad things happen... that evil people do evil things and that's just that....

Then I like to add in the possible stage Five: Activism:

At this stage, with trueth movements, people start to go out and share the information, maybe run for government... whatever to become one to "fix" what is wrong.

They can then slide back into depression when they find the weight of the world too heavy on their shoulders.

So.. there you go.

Answer 9

You are probing some of the great paradoxical mysteries of the faith.

Christ died that we might live. If we are to be leaders we must be a slave to all. To receive the riches of heaven we must reject the riches of this world. Blessed are the poor, the meek, the persecuted. The last shall be first.

Our God has a great sense of irony.

Answer 10

Yes, Oh my God how wrong you are I do good on a daily bases by doing the best i can to be the best person I can be I don't lie, cheat or steal, and whenever it's possible I share my God with other people on times when he has touched my life. Hoping & praying if they don't know God that just maybe A LIGHT WILL GO OFF & THEY'LL WANT TO KNOW MORE. i DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GOT YOUR IDEAS. BUT GOD & JESUS IS LOVE
& GOOD,THEY ARE NOT DEATH.

Answer 11

Jesus did not fail at all. Jesus was victorious. Jesus defeated Satan, sin, and death by His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection. Jesus accomplished atonement for our sins on the cross so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. www.jewsforjesus.com and www.equip.org
