When people say you are either good or bad, it's kinda funny to me because, fortunately or unfortunately, there are too many shades of gray in between black and white. Is it okay to assume that everyone defines his own good or bad? there are times when my actions do not seem to fit into the description of good or bad. there are times when i feel like i am doing something bad and i'm really not doing anything at all. There are times when you want to compare an obviously bad person (say, a murderer or prostitute) and an apparently good person; or, when you feel like you are better than some other person, but then you compare situations and other differences between you and them and you see that you are not better, just different...nothing more. Many times, i imagined how every person would be judged by God. I imagine how true it is that every person would be judged separately. I imagine that it'll be really obvious when we are guilty, and i imagine that some people may get away with stuff that we may be punished for...not because God is unfair (God forbid that) but because we thought we were doing our fair share already and it did not make any difference if we do more good than we'd already done. Maybe because we thought we were good enough already....Maybe God judges based on if u are as good as "you" are supposed to be...not just better than the average person.

hmm..nice thoughts. Unfortunately, I think good will eventually fall under one category, and then 'bad' and 'shades of gray' will fall under the other category. Because there are only two categories that really exist in God's own eyes.
Loved reading those thoughts...
