Depends on your definition of "being good". I always try to do what is right and to use an old fashioned word....honourable. What makes that difficult is that it often means not putting my needs/wants first. An illustration of this is that recently I was in the position of knowing what my partner wanted. We had a new wills drafted.....which arrived the day after he was hospitalised. If i had been "bad" I would have had him sign it as he asked about the unfinished business several times, even up to the day before he died. As it was......I decided he was too ill to sign it, so I was "good" and never took it to him in hospital to sign.
I had given up a lot to be with him and he wanted me not to be left without security if anything happened to him.
I stood to gain much..........but I have to live with my conscience. So, I am left without security ............but it was my choice..........to give up what I did and to not have him sign a will when he was so ill.
Some would call me stupid.........I call it being honourable and doing the right thing.

Being good and doing the "right" thing is not always easy, like turning in a friend who is stealing and/or cheating. But being the person who is stealing and/or cheating is easy because you are not realizing that there will be some sort of consequence in the long run. You are caught up in the moment!

It just seems like it. UNless it is like proving something in science. It is hard to prove a theory because you can disprove it with one fact, but it takes hundreds of facts to prove it. It ight be the same thing with being good. You are bad if you do one bad thing. Being good requires never doing anything bad.

Yep, but doing right is right and being bad is bad ! At the end of our lives we will either be rewarded for doing good or be damned for doing bad !!! Nothing good comes easy !

lol, i think doing good feels good and doing bad also feels good once you start doing it alot, alot of people get mad when someone tries help, but some people don't need help. Some people who are bad might not be able to get certain stuff because they are poor or simply their parents won't buy them stuff. It really depends on the situation and the persons view of whats good or bad. I guess some people have to be bad to get sutff or simply do it for pleasure

Being good is hard BECAUSE being bad is easy. If being bad was hard too, then it would become easier to be Good.
The hard things are sometimes the most worthwhile.

I find being good and kind to be quite easy. Being bad lingers for ages afterwards, nothing easy about that.

It's called human nature. Sinful man from the fall of Adam through out the ages. Read the bible for answers.

yes ive experienced this before.. you want to do good but its hard to do so because other people do bad and you want to follow. its easy to be bad because everyone else does it. you go for the cravings inside you that tell you to do something wrong.. all you need to do is be independent.

Because both can't be easy. Unfortunately, being good is hard, not being bad.
