Being good is not good enough. But making someone accept that you are good is, a state you will never reach. Be good anyway, the least of best you could possibly be.
Again, remember that your goodness may not always be perceived as good at the other side for morality, which is subjective, defines what is good. Mind you, the morality always sets a high scale about good while receiving than giving.
People may take you for granted most of the time -- not all, if you are lucky -- for being good. But then isn't that the essence of being good..? People around are supposed to be free and understood. That is why, one chooses to be good. Isn't it..?
When a good person is gone, his absence is realized immediately. Because seeing a good person is not that easy. That's why everybody asks everyone else to be good. Good people are needed on earth because our ancestors have said that it rains in the places where good people live. But then nobody offers umbrella to a good person, because a good person is expected to offer things and never considered to be at receiving end, except of course appreciation to wake them up when they forget to be good.
I know of few good people. Actually more than just few. But I always wonder why it isn't raining where they live. Perhaps what I'm thinking as good may not be good enough. Or is the rain just a metaphor. It is pity that I don't clearly understand the language of our ancestors.
