Goodness vs Love, what distinction do you draw between the two ?

[Loveeee]

Leo you didn't really explained it here ( 1:30:15 )

 

[Moksha]

I haven't watched the video, but goodness = god = love.

It is light within light realizing light.

[manifestinggal456]

goodness and love are two distinct concepts, but they are closely related. Goodness is an attribute of character, a quality of being morally right and just. Love, on the other hand, is an emotion that is often associated with strong feelings of affection and attachment. Goodness is often seen as a moral obligation, while love is seen as a choice. Goodness is often seen as a way of doing what is right, while love is often seen as a way of doing what is best.

[Moksha]

Some clarifications might be helpful. For me:

Goodness: Intent and actions arising from alignment with your ultimate nature as God

God: The absolute, within and beyond all dualities including the creation of the cosmos and the potentiality of the void

Love: The ultimate seamless essence underlying all apparent differences; another word for God

Candy can be addictive 

[Rahra]

God is Absolute Goodness and Love. He is Absolute Consciousness and Absolute Being.

God, there is no god but Him. He is Absolutely Great.

The Goodness and Love He has shown me is undeniable.

He gave me the gift of seeing Him. To behold His Greatness.

And He is the one Who forgave me when I did unright to my soul! 

And He came Gloriously and saved my life from satan.

To Him I shall return.

In the end all distinctions collapse.

[StarStruck]

It is the same. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.

[Breakingthewall]

Quite different. goodness is a word that describes something opposite to evilness. love is a word that describes the substance of reality. the substance of reality can be apparently good or bad, depending on your point of view. love is an absolute

Love is the highest good

Of course there's nothing but the highest good, nothing but love, absolutely undistinguishable

But relatively speaking, goodness is a spectrum, of love ( which again somehow equates the two, can't really distinguish them but that's my point ) 

 

 

 

[player1995]

A truly good man is not aware of his goodness,
And is therefore good.
A foolish man tries to be good,
And is therefore not good.

A truly good man does nothing,
Yet nothing is left undone.
A foolish man is always doing,
Yet much remains to be done

When a truly kind man does something, he leaves nothing undone.
When a just man does something, he leaves a great deal to be done.
When a disciplinarian does something and no one responds,
He rolls up his sleeves in an attempt to enforce order

Therefore when Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is kindness.
When kindness is lost, there is justice.
When justice is lost, there is ritual.
Now ritual is the husk of faith and loyalty, the beginning of confusion.
Knowledge of the future is only a flowery trapping of the Tao.
It is the beginning of folly.

Therefore the truly great man dwells on what is real
and not what is on the surface,
On the fruit and not the flower,
Therefore accept the one and reject the other.
