good is what benefits you, your family, and your community
bad is what hurts you, your family, and your community

Good Thoughts doesn't simply mean think good alone, it also means keeping the bad thoughts out
likewise with the Words and Deeds - good words and deeds alone is never enough, one must restrain oneself from saying bad words and deeds and extinguish the bad thoughts and deeds

if you see injustice, be just

What benefits me?


A farmer gets a horse, which soon runs away. A neighbor says, "That's bad news." The farmer replies, "Good news, bad news, who can say?"

The horse comes back and brings another horse with him. Good news, you might say.
The farmer gives the second horse to his son, who rides it, then is thrown and badly breaks his leg.

"So sorry for your bad news," says the concerned neighbor. "Good news, bad news, who can say?" the farmer replies.

In a week or so, the emperor's men come and take every able-bodied young man to fight in a war. The farmer's son is spared.

good story there, anon
that's basically it - we dont know what the future holds, only thing we can do is what's right for us and let nature do the rest
>what benefits me?
i dont know your situation, anon
if you desire a job, get out and apply for one and then do good at your job, advance in your career
if you desire a girlfriend, get out and talk to women, be there for them, give them gifts, treat them as you'd treat your future wife

It's just sort of meaningless to say "good things are good and anything can be good"

not really, some things might seem good at first but peel back the facade and you'll see its true nature

a good warrior knows when to pull out his sword and when to sheathe his sword

What makes the warrior good? What makes something look good but not actually be good? Sometimes something that looks good actually is good.
Don't actually answer these, because I don't think you can give satisfying answers.

I'm not even satisfied by my own answer, man: fundamentalism. Either you go religious or absurdist, but the answer is either "this arbitrary thing is good" or "there is no such thing as good or bad, may as well smear shit on my dick and go outside with only my homemade shit undies preventing me from breaking the law"
