On Being a Good Man

A good man first of all takes care of his own mind, body, and immediate environment and keeps them in the best state possible. This is also called sanity and right reasoning. ANother name for this is COMMON SENSE. This notion, 'the body is a temple,' is nonsense. The writer wanted you to be a 'church' for the Holy Ghost when your BODY is a living, breathing, thinking organism that has certain needs, or it dies. Second, is he controlling himself or his ego, emotions, and efforts {Inner and outer?} SELF CONTROL is not a bad word when one can do it from the SOUL LEVEL. It is one thing to BE crazy or ACT crazy. Acting crazy can be fun as long as you don't hurt yourself or anyone else. But only a self-controlled person can 'act' crazy and snap out of it just as easily. Three. You owe this world or mankind nothing but the respect you deserve for yourself. Don't kill, Don't steal. Don't deal in deceit. Do as you like and harm none. After that your life is your own.
