Why You Should Not Become A Good Person?

Why You Should Not Become A Good Person?

Young people should learn how to be bad. This post is based on a piece I wrote 3 years ago about the flawed idea of morality. I believe a person who knows both the things can rule over others.

Why You Should Not Become A Good Person?

This is really an interesting topic nobody will talk about. Growing up you must have heard several times why you should become a good person. Your parents, your religion, your teachers and almost every story you read or movie you watch would tell you to pursue goodness. So, why do we have to teach goodness?

The fact that why we have to teach goodness to human beings is the reason why the idea of goodness is flawed. This means goodness is not natural. Let me tell you, we are not born a good person. It’s really silly to see that we have to train and educate human beings for like 20 years to become good people. We welcome people who are good and reject people who are bad and maybe that’s why we promulgate the idea of goodness in society so that our children don’t get ostracized. This is going on for like several years. Obviously, we do this so that we don’t end up killing each other or because we can live peacefully.

So, why you should not become a good person then?
