What could be better in life than to "be" good and to "do" good? When you "are" good, you behave well towards yourself: you love and approve of yourself. This means that you don't have thoughts, attitudes, and habits that are hurtful to your mind and body. When you approve of yourself, you are aware of your potential, of your efforts, you don't blame yourself but endeavor to learn from your mistakes. When you "do" good, you perform the same actions towards others: you love and don't criticize them, because you realize that they, too, are striving to live a better life, whatever this might mean to them. You also feel the desire to give them any help they need, according to your capabilities. All this can be summarized by the words "generosity & compassion", towards yourself and towards others.
