The word good can be used in many different ways by many different peoples

 I started thinking about this today when some religion left something using the word Good in my driveway.

I began thinking how people often misuse the word "Good" worldwide.

Of course it is true we all don't speak English and we all don't use the word "Good" but I'm sure there is an equivalent word to "Good" in every language on earth.

Let me give you some examples of what I'm talking about:

To Russians supporting Putin: "All Americans and people in Nato should Die. For them this might be good.

For Christians who are extreme in their beliefs, for them all other religions people dying horribly might be good for them.

For Muslims the members of all other religions dying or being gone might be good for them.

For Christians who use religion as a way to discriminate against other races or ethnicities wanting all Jewish people and Black people in the U.S. to die might be "Good" for them.

So, for some reason today I could see how the word "Good" is often misused in a sort of universal way.

But, for me, the universe is neither good nor bad. For me, Life is good. Being alive is Good. Kindness to all beings in the Universe is Good.

But, as with all these things there are people who don't or wouldn't agree with me.

I just want you to be more aware how often the word "Good" is misused.

It's also possible that the word Good is an extension of the word God over time and we all know how many different ways the word "God" is misused by people all over the world to harm other people or peoples in often horrific ways.

Maybe what I think is that we all should be more careful of the way we use the word Good and the word God worldwide so the human race doesn't go extinct.
