I believe people just do what they do .....any good or evil a
later fallout judgment, (IF it catches someone's' attention!),
...that we tend to do what is least problematical in the world of
acceptance we live in ("pretty-good" being the norm). I belive
to do bad, when feeling to do good, takes an energy over just doing,
and the reverse ........ There are also those naturally bad that
for reasons, try to be/do good and fail or succeed at a cost. There
are those that DO naturally good without any effort and at no cost.
They often enjoy the credits like being naturally good looking.
At least consider it all a bit more than just doing "good" or "bad"
.......assuming "good" just means the most pleasant for all about!
Of most populations, about 10% are bad-ish prone, about 10% are
good-ish prone, with about 80% of us in the middle......(about the
same as pretty/so-so/and ugly). I "think" we are in essential agreement
with what you said above- Yes?

NOTE: Take all the postings you can explore here on PHIL in a few
sessions and get back to me on the (no names) "DO GOODS",
DO BADS, and DO NEUTRALS .....could be interesting to check
your view of the 10/80/10% ratio !
NOTE: I left out the "VERYs" as the number of Saints and devils
tend to be near the edges of the human range and need be
treated as outside our "normalcy" experience.
