RE: Infatuation with the Image of Good and of Being Positive
Sometimes I think it may be people trying to cancel out bad deeds with good deeds. A bit like trying to cancel out a mega cheeseburger with a trip to the gym.
Morality doesn't work that way, lol. There is no grand cosmic imaginary magical ledger for us to "balance" things out to a cosmic bookkeeper. The bookkeeper is ourselves, to feel the guilt, shame and judgment of our wrong actions. Then we try to make up for it, in the wrong ways, hardly ever addressing the one we wronged, or putting it the wrong right, simply choosing to do "good" somewhere else while never redressing the wrongs themselves.
I agree but people are not always rational:)
