The good comes from the positive side of our nature; the bad comes from the negative side. Mostly, when we come here we borrow the negative side from environmental effects, influences, and the habits that we've learned from the people we are with, the company we are in. Just like you are not born a smoker or an alcoholic, you learn it from society. Once smoking becomes habitual, whenever you see a cigarette, you want it. And when you don't see a cigarette, it's still in your mind; you want to have one, or you want to have one more glass of alcoholic liquid. It is because you get into this habit; you are not born with it.
For example, you see your neighbor hitting someone else when he is angry and that person hits back. Then you keep seeing these images of your neighbor in your mind all the time, or something like that. The next time a person makes you angry or hits you, you will hit him back because you have learned that; you have practiced that in your mind, or you have learned it together with the people who taught you to hit other people when they do not please you.
That's why even in twins with the same DNA that are supposedly a split personality of the same person, the same construction, who have the same day and same minute of birth, or only one, a few seconds, or a minute apart, one person grows up to become a star of a political or other field, or a movie star, and the other grows up to become possibly a murderer, a thief or a violent person. It is because each was exposed to different environments.
In learning this, we can easily forgive the person; otherwise, we will think he is very bad. Actually, no one is so bad. He is just born with the tendency to learn, and he learns things quickly - the good as well as the bad. If he learns the good, he becomes good; if he learns the bad, he tends to become bad unless he has a strong will to resist it, and this is rare.
So, bad things do not come from the heart, but from the habits. Good things come from your heart because you are born with them. You are born with heavenly qualities, you are endowed with heavenly tools to come down, and then, coming down here you drop into this school with all kinds of things to learn and to react to. If you happen not to be strong enough and give in, then you will drown.
That's why I tell you that in heaven they don't look at sins and virtues the way we do. They are very tolerant, forgiving, and loving, but still you, yourself, have to check up, and you will probably feel bad yourself. That is the final day of judgment..

No, the heart just makes sure blood is pumping. The heart is an age old metaphor that is not used much in todays culture. The heart metaphorically means the emotion of love. Love has no place in our moral/ethics. Good and bad and individual ideals to each person and to each circumstance.
You might think it's bad to eat out of the trash but, if you were homeless it would be good because you are surviving. Our ethical conduct is developed based upon nature or how we see fit to change nature.

Good or bad are two sides of the same coin. Something good for one can be bad for other and something bad for one can be good for other. It depends on the individual and it can originate from either heart or mind.

Rather I think they come from the mind, in other words, it is definitely the source of good or bad things. For instance, when one with the right mind has to help people in need, he/she would feel good and happy. In contrast, when another one with the evil mind craves to be rich by robbing people, he/she would feel bad and unhappy afterward because the sequel is not right and illegal.

None of the creations of nature except man are good or bad by themselves. Man, creates goodness or badness out of these by using them in a way which is beneficial to him alone.

no dear,
they come from brain, i can explain...
whatever you have been taught, you have them in your brain.
according to the teaching you come to know and judge any work as good or bad.
it depends on the lessons that your have learnt, if it says helping people in need is good then you will definitely come to know that it is good.
if you have learnt that beating people is good then you will do the same for good.
thats the reason..
all is there in mind.

There is strogn connectivity with heart and brain that allow the tongue to express negative and positive expression.
Your thinking and attitude mould your brain to express good and bad.
