| Beyond good You are not bad and you are not good. If you think of yourself as good you will think of yourself as better than others, condemn yourself to judgementalism and expand your shadow side. Even Jesus said "Why do you call me good. Only God is good" (Mk 10:18). If I love and serve others it doesn't make me 'good'; it just gives me a way to escape the hell of my own self-centeredness.
