It's Simple Poem by Richard Randolph

It's Simple

Whether you're good or bad
is largely determined by how you treat others.
If you've helped the people in your life
more than hurt them, you're probably good.
But if you've harmed them more than helped,
you're almost certainly bad.
How you treat strangers is also important, though.
If you've helped the needy or those suffering,
it's likely you're good,
but if you've ignored them, or been indifferent,
you're almost certainly bad.
And, in both cases, the more you've helped,
the more likely it is you're good,
and the more you've turned a blind eye,
the more likely it is you're bad.
Finally, we all have a responsibility to the natural world,
and how you treat it indicates your character.
If you've treated plants and animals with respect,
you're very likely good,
but if you've treated them like playthings,
or polluted with indifference or for financial gain,
you're almost certainly bad.
And that's really all we need to know.
No religion or God.
No heaven or hell.
Just a few basic principles.
It's simple.
