Rectification As a Way of Life -- The Function of Good

(Background music)

(Directory on Rectification and Help)

The more I live the more I come to the premise that we came into this world to do good. And by doing good to others, we gratify ourselves from our internal void, and feel satisfied ourselves.

Many things in our world are contagious, other than disease. In this article I would like to write about how both love and hate are contagious, and how hate brings this world to its collapse.

Love is hard to come by in this world. There are many kinds of love, not just romantic, and the greatest of loves is that which comes naturally and selflessly.

The more we do things out of selfless love, the more we balance this world. This world is very unbalanced, with all of its political strife and wars and collapsing economies.

What keeps me sane in an unstable world is rectifying as a way of life. The fact that I did good gratifies me. I will always want to do good as a result because doing good is what makes me feel alive and not "undead".

Doing good restores me back from my darkness and redeems me from it. I often think about how much more use I can be to those around me and for Philosocom. I already wrote so much but I often feel that I have so much more left to write, I will always want to rectify the world.

Here's the thing about world rectification: What matters is not the end result, because there will always be something to rectify. What matters is the journey, the way, towards rectification.

There will always be problems in the world. However, rectification is best done when seen as something to look forward to, instead of something to accomplish fully.

It is our choice whether or not to succumb to the temptation of hatred or to heal this world with our potential to do good. Doing good in a world of hatred is like lighting a small candle in a world of darkness; even a small candle can light up a lot of dark.

And this light of good has the potential to be contagious as much as hatred, but the problem is we are not used to tap into our inner light and bring it outside of us. We are not used to expect good but to endure the bad.

The world has no superheroes to save us from trouble. We often have to go through our troubles on our own, with or without our dear ones supporting us, if we even have dear ones in the first place.

But the thing is, doing good is what can help us feel alive, and not just live life from concern to concern. By becoming an active force of rectification as a way of life, we can not only help others but also help ourselves feel better and even look forward towards a brighter, more optimistic future.

Societies need to foster that inner light or else they will be consumed by darkness and corruption. I grew up in the 2000's, the 2000's was defined by a feeling of hope towards the future. It is the same hope I seek to maintain by connecting to my inner child and by doing a lot of good in the world.

I know life can be hard, but by doing small acts of kindness, our perception can change per our choices in life.

Rectification as a way of life includes:

1. Helping the homeless.

2. Making people believe in themselves.

3. Fostering love and care.

4. Donating to charity.

5. Volunteering.

6. Practicing gratitude for people.

   
   

We don't have to entirely succumb to the defeatist, corruptive trends of our world. We could instead become active forces that shape the world per our decisions, which is something very powerful. The problem is, is that we aren't aware of just how powerful we can be until we actually try to do acts of good.

When we do acts of good, we gratify both others and us, making selfishness and altruism intertwined uniquely. Doing good is a type of act that brings benefit both to others and to ourselves.

Doing acts of good heals the world through its humanity. Good is something that is amiss in our world, and by doing good we can rectify ourselves of our sadness and depression and feel better over time.

And I'm telling this from experience. I am no longer the dark, emotionless man I used to be. The more I rectified, the better I began feeling.

Gratification can be addictive and there is no more useful gratification than world rectification. It's amazing how doing good can not only bring a lot of good to this world, but make us feel good too in the process.

Thus, rectification should be a way of life, something that makes our lives truly worth living, as we go from merely surviving day to day to feeling alive.

Life is best not when built on surviving and enduring but on cherishing. And cherishing life is best done when we begin to be forces of good and do good in the world.

Should more people do good, we can rectify the world more effectively. I am but one man, but I rectify as a way of life, happy with what I already have.

The more we bring out into the world, and the less we take back, the better we can feel. Happiness shouldn't be measured by GDP but by our capacity to be satisfied with what we already have and with our actions.

Since life is too short to live someone else's life, it depends on our strength to break ourselves apart from whatever brings us misery, and instead rebuild our lives on whatever makes us feel gratified and content.

As tragic as it is, nothing will ever completely satisfy me. I believe I will always look forward to the next article, the next act of rectification, because it is this lack of satisfaction that compels me to write, that compels me to act, that prevents me from sitting quietly in a room alone.

I see how the world is and all I feel is a deep desire to be of use, to contribute, to be of help to anyone, anyone at all, and that is what keeps me going in life. Rectification is a way of life for me, and the only thing that makes me feel content other than love.

I hope I will live a long life, so I can keep rectifying as much as I can.
