Have you ever wondered what goes through the minds of people? Do you ever wonder what drives people towards goodness? What influences them to engage in deeds that lead to their downfall? Of what governs their life, their intentions and actions?

We often come across news articles talking about how "X" duped "Y" and ran away with his money or how "M" was a victim of racism and hate crime.

You, an ordinary person wonders, what drives people towards evil? What is that acts as a force to push them towards such ill actions?

The answer might be greed. The mere act of fulfilling the need of our inner greed. Greed in terms of money, greed in terms of authority or greed in it's basic sense.

This is a highly subjective topic and the reasons might be different for every individual out there.

And on the other hand, you wonder what motivates people towards goodness? What is it that makes them engage in acts that spread positivity and good vibes all around.

Humans are complex beings and everyone has different reasons for their behaviour. We are all born with innate goodness, but as we grow and become familiar with the world around us, it adds on to our life experiences and our resultant behaviour.

When they say there is a reason behind the way a person behaves, they are not wrong. For each of our experiences define us. And each of these experiences ultimately make us decide on what we choose to do.

People might engage in acts of goodness or acts that are evil. Every single individual, including us, is quite capable to engage in acts that are both good and bad. It is what makes us human. And through the experiences we go through, we possess the ability to make amends and do better in the future.

Eventually, with time, some people come to realise the things they did and they do everything they can to undo the wrong that they once engaged in by compensating through good behaviour and acts of goodness. For there is always a way to be good again.
