Thoughts and thoughts 2

The ethical rules are stated negatively: Not to kill, not to steal, not to lie. So we can be a good person even if we do nothing.
We can be a better person still if we support life, are generous and spread the truth.
To make our mind produce thoughts that gives good actions might be hard work.
It is even harder work to train our mind to produce thoughts giving bad effects. But this work most of us do willingly. We want to prepare us for the worst, and often we are quite talented.
Anyhow, learning to think positive thoughts might be difficult. We should respect people who do that.
