From conception, during and after creation, God had made everything very good, so it isn't out of place to say that the primary evaluation of creation was on the basis that everything should be good. Humans and everything so created was to fulfill one purpose "Ecological Good", which everyone and everything were expected to do good to the ecosystem in their respective capacity.

If the above isn't met the constituent of the ecosystem affected will react and oppose the forces executing the ill force up until the good attribute of the ecosystem is re-established or maintained, it will keep reacting.




Creation was created and designed to exist on good, and as part of creation and the highest ranked, humans are born with a nature of celebrating and indulging in good acts.

Let's use infants for example they cry and express their emotional hurt when grown-ups hurt them in a way (maybe trying to make them eat, bath, or take medications). They express their feelings through crying letting us understand that they are hurt because they don't see/ perceive it as a good act. And then as grown-ups we'll try to adjust in a way to make them feel good with our act. we even go as far as to protect them from experiencing deeds that are hurting.

So I believe that it's in our nature as humans to do good rather than bad, but which is easier to do, is it good or bad? The thing is there are many occasions or circumstances where doing bad appears the easiest and the same goes for doing good.

Let's consider a practical situation where one finds a bundle of cash running into thousands of nominations on the roadside, the good act will be trying to get the money to the owner through the use of the media houses and the through any medium available that we know we can but this good act involves work compared to the bad act of keeping the money to ourselves.

As much as keeping the money will be a better option, let's consider the smile, joy, and happiness that we will be putting on that person's face, also the appreciation and gratitude that will come from the owner, for returning the money back even when we had an option of keeping the money to ourselves.

If reverse is the case, let's also consider the pains, sadness and hurt the owner will go through due to not finding the lost money let's assume such money was their last hope for something critical, I will not hide the fact that we might also go through a lot of stress trying to get the money back to the owner.




Let's consider the moral expectations, does the act of keeping the money meets the appropriate moral up bringing not to mention the parts where your conscience pricks you and continuously remind you that your actions were inappropriate and bad.

In order words, if we put the two sides to sides, we will find out that doing good is far easier and appreciated than doing bad. Let's not also forget that God after creating everything, He had made them very good.

Let's consider the moral expectations

This is one of the key things, because if our values or the things we learned in the past tells you that something is ok to do, then it will be easier to do that thing.
