The first belief I would like to look at today will mostly fit into a bad idea to question category. It is about the good vs the bad. Imagine a normal day in your life. When you wake up till the time you sleep, how many time you think about what is good and what is bad. Almost every action is labelled by ourselves, or someone else around us will do it for us. It is good to say so; it is a bad decision, we should always do good deeds and avoid bad people. All these conversations are happening inside us.
The next level, the good vs bad, goes where results are predicted based on these labels. It is because you are a good person, things will be good with you. If you do good deeds, it will result in you getting some points in a larger scheme of things. At times it's connected with religion, second life, heaven/hell, cause & effect etc.
Now one thing which will happen is, the reader may ask this question. "So should we not do a good thing ?" "Are we justifying bad actions and behaviour?'. Of course not. We are not saying anything to be extracted from this. It is about acknowledging the voice source in our head, which continuously labels things in our lives.
Have a good one.
