ogugua88: Being good pays off eventually. Some people will steer from doing good because the results or rewards are not met immediately. Politicians, cheats, liars, crooks, etc., all get what they want and claim they are "happy". How long does that happiness last? We should ask Ibori.

Those who fly in the right direction and are patient will reap their rewards.

Yield: Really depends on the motives. It's one thing to be good because you expect something in return. It's another to be good because that's just the way you are and you don't care about being upheld nor praised in any way. Also, being good does not mean you've to be passive. You can still stand and speak up for yourself when you need to.

Yes, it does.

vivian chinaza: Common guys, this thread is not all about being good to people or being born again. Its about doing the right thing always! Its about being upright and incoRruptible, straight forward and honest. Its about whether to upheld or bend the truth a little, its about sowing or not sowing ur soul to the devil in otheR to make it big or not! That's what the "good" in this thread means!

vivian chinaza: Pls when will it pay off? Is it when I die? I'm not born again, I just believe in the principles of doing good! And somehow its now part of me. I feel very miserable doing otherwise. E.g, when I was working for a construction company I was in a position that i had access to some of the company's materials. I could have stolen and made money just like others were doing. Instead I sat on my desk, worked my butt off and depended on my salary. My friends I did the job with have built houses and bought cars but I'm still struggling! In fact, at the end of the day another manageR (thief) came to head my depaRtment and sacked me cos I'm a "jew" girl! Infact, I could give countless instances.......even in school I watch people that can't even wRite their names make good grade becos they soRt and people that woRk hard either fail or come out with low grades. Even when it comes to my relationship with people I give my best and my all but I don't only get nothing in return but I would be taken advantage of! I have seen good people suffer! Being a good person doesn't guaRantee you will get same fair tReatment from people, but does it mean ur right should be deprived? Can someone pls tell me the difference between being good and being stupid! Cos I really want to learn!

Emusan: All unrightousness is a sin.

If you luv good ting continue u wil surely hav d reward

'To dem who knw gud and faileth to do it, to dem is a sin'.

Emma...Bleep

vivian chinaza: Why is it that being a good person is being perceived as weak and foolish? most times it seems being good doesn't pay off anymore cos u will be exploited, ridiculed and taken advantage of while the wicked are being celebrated. Must one be ruthless in business in order to make profit? Must a student sort to come out with good grades? Must a lady sleep with a man to get a job or any other favour? Must a politician lie to get elected? Must one glorify himself or "join the trend" to fit in or be appreciated? Must one be manipulative to get what he wants in life? Must we all practice survival by deception? What happens to those who can't? Is there any hope for them? Does evil ever prevail over good? Why do we celebrate evil instead of good? I'm a firm believer of being a good person becos I believe for everything good thing I do someone is a better person because of it. But sometimes it seems it doesn't just pay off!!!!

Michky: @ VIVIAN. My dear, being good does not guarantee you anything. Yes it pays off when every1 does good at the same time (which we all know is not posible) or when you're lucky. Fact is, if you want to survive long enough on earth, there are certain situations where you have to be good and certain situations where you have to be bad. Sadly, our pastors sell a 1 size fits all attitude (being good) which doesnt pay off most of the time because we're surounded by wickedness. My 2cents.

Michky: I'l use examination to drive home my point. You see, life is like a regular examination. Am sure you will agree wit me that what matters is PASSING the exam. If you like sort or carry micro chips, or if you like study. What matters is the end result. Although it pays of to study hard, it also pays off to use the necessary means required at any point in time. Abeg am tired of typing joor, do whatever you like (assuming you've learnt your lessons). Its painful that i av so much to say tho.
