Is it so hard to be a good person?

Scribbled by Mint Chocolate Chip at 8:37 AM
i just don't get it why some people choose to be such a bad person..i think being a good person is more rewarding than being such an evil one..it wasn't easy to be bad, though some people claim that it's easy, but if we think it thoroughly, it really is not..

let's take a look at a very simple example...on one hand, there's a person works 8 hours a day and by the end of the month, s/he gets his salary..it makes him/her happy because he can spend it to make their family happy with the money s/he earns by working hard...on the other hand, there's a person who robs a bank for a living..if s/he does not get caught, then it's ok, but still to spend that money on your family, i'm sure s/he would feel very guilty deep inside her/his heart because it comes from a bad source...however, if s/he gets caught, that's when it stings..s/he does not only will be imprisoned, s/he also does not get a single cent from it..the family would suffer from embarrassment, they might losing the only breadwinner in the family as well...

her's a list of the basic of good and bad things:

good things:
pray, respect the elders, love the youngsters, study hard, work hard,  be kind and helpful

bad things: 
neglect the duty to God, being such an ass to the elders and youngsters, lazy, evil heart and hateful

some might say that neglect the duty to God is a very easy thing to do...to have a discipline to pray 5 times a day (for Muslims) is very hard to be done..but what they do not know is that, it's the source of peaceful in our heart..pray saves us from a lot of trouble in order to find peace..those who do not pray might try to find peace by taking drugs, drinking liquor, just to name a few which will always end badly..compare to just pray 5 times a day, u are rewarded with serenity of heart and a good way of life..well, u decide..

God has promised that a person who obey to his orders or command will surely be rewarded and hell is a sure for those whom disobey...we always thought that reward should always be in a solid form like money..but what we do not realize is that, a good health, a fully function body, the ability to eat, to walk, to talk and to do a lot more things without the help of others is already a reward from God..what if He takes back one of this ability, how's your life would be? be grateful before it's not too late..even a handicapped learn to be grateful, why can't a physically perfect human being like us cannot? 

me myself is full of flaws..i did a lot of things and most of them were things that i'm not really proud of..but Allah loves me so much that he sends people to guide me back to the right track, and those are my parents and my grandparents..what i'm trying to say that God has always shown his love towards His slaves..it can be in thousands of ways...sometimes we are aware of it, but sometimes we are not, and that's when people say that it's a blessing in disguise...

so, let's ponder on what have we done so far in our life,  repent on all our wrong doings, start doing good things and lead a better life..

May God bless us all, always..

yours truly, 
a human, with full or flaws.
