The Light for a Good Man
Here is the
light for a good man who finds himself surrounded by unhappy conditions. He has
made his character, and he has also made his circumstances.
His good
thoughts and desires have made him what he is; the misdirection of them has
created the environment through which he suffers. Let him, then, not be
satisfied with being good, but see to it also that his influence on all around
him is beneficial. Then shall it react on him as good environment.
For instance:
a mother is very unselfish, and she spoils her son by yielding, at her own
cost, to all his whims, aiding him not at all to overcome his own selfish
inclinations, fostering the lower nature, starving the higher.
The son grows
up selfish, uncontrolled, the slave of his own whims and desires. He causes
unhappiness in the home, perchance brings upon it debt and disgrace. This
reaction is the environment she created by her unwisdom, and she must bear the
distresses it brings upon her.
A selfish man
may, on the other hand, create for himself in the future an environment
regarded as fortunate by the world. With the hope of gaining a title, he builds
a hospital and equips it fully; many sufferers therein find relief, many sick
unto death have their last moments soothed, many children are lovingly nursed
back into health. The reaction from all this will be easy and pleasant
surroundings for himself; he will reap the harvest of the physical good which
he has sown. But his selfishness will also sow according to its kind, and
mentally and morally he will reap that harvest also, a harvest of
disappointment and of pain.
