After the confusion is cleared up, in you heart there's goodness, which was there to begin with.

What comes from your heart. If you are doing an act to gain something in return...not so sure that it pure 'goodness'.

I assume you don't know what Goodness means...
So what do you connect with 'goodness'? Everything immoral? You set the meaning of your 'Goodness' and you live by it, whether it's wrong or right, to others.

Thruth is absolute, it will change from place to place or time to time. Every thing on the earth is controlled by Law of GRAVITY , Every human being on the earth is controlled by LAW of MORALITY.

Aristotle provides us with an insight on what he characterise as 'good'.
'It is desirable for itself, it is not desirable for the sake of some other good, and all other goods are desirable for its sake.'
What it means is that this good, is desirable on its on. It is not good because of something else (e.g money).

What's good for you may not be good for me.
That's why we live in a life of various shades of grey, not black & white.
Isn't life great?

I think goodness is something that comes out of your heart. You don't think about it you just do it.
