Every day of our lives we go about our routines that comprise how we live. A summary of how we live in a nutshell: we groom, we eat, we work, we consume, we fornicate, we procreate, and we sleep.
The philosophers who try to find an explanation to our souls have many times through history, made mention of the fact that the soul is measured. Our actions determine the weight our souls carry. In other words are we good, or are we bad?
Such little things have such a major impact on whether we are good or not. It isn’t as simple as just be nice and you will be a good person, it isn’t as easy as staying out of trouble. The reason is because doing nothing is just as negative in some cases. For example consider an individual who sees another person in trouble but does not help them. This individual did nothing wrong but they did not do anything to help. That could be considered bad. On the other hand you could have a group of criminals that are trying to commit a robbery. One of the criminals may have remorse and so when he sees the police coming, he does not alert his accomplices and they get caught. That could be considered good.
The complexity of theories that could determine how our souls are weighted for judgement is so vast. We have no real way of knowing for sure how to ensure that we are doing the right thing. All we can do is be the best person we can be and hope for the best.
So if you believe in the soul, every move you make can have a very fruitful or very detrimental effect on how you are judged. The pressure could be a lot if you worry about it too much. Personally I like the idea of just being the best you can be. Just keep in mind that the road to hell was paved with good intentions. It is yet one more thing to confuse us all.
How do you think our actions affect us in the next life? How do you think our souls are judged? Tweet me @Vijayp1982 or comment below.
