“When I Do Good, I Feel Good; When I Do Bad, I Feel Bad, And That Is My Religion.”

Contrary to belief, a religion does not require that it’s disciples bow down to someone, to go to a certain building once a week, or to self-inflict pain on oneself.

In fact, my religion asks none of this from me.

When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.

My religion is within me.

When I do wrong, I personally know and have to live with it. And when I do right, I also have to live with it, but in this case it’s a sort of inter-real happiness that I have to live with.

What would you rather live with, happiness or pain? And if happiness is found through good why do anything but?

Falsely yours,
Abraham Lincoln
