Haiku (Good) Poem by Raymond Farrell
Haiku (Good)
Knowing what is good
Is not meaningful until
Put into practice.
Too many good people Imposing their goodness Too many wars and violence The planet moving into darkness..... Goodness is a very relative term and can just be what the Devil has meant in His dictionary. So much violence on this beautiful planet due to clash of ideologies. Your haiku does reflect a different truth in a positive sense....however, the other side can also be true
You make a good point when you say - Too many good people Imposing their goodness. I am mindful to the statement do not do evil that good may come of it - but also it is true do not do good in an evil way.

It may be that some wars and violence spring from good intentions but I believe that those intentions are and have been superficial to the underlying greed and evil. A truly good person (or government) does not impose. Good is not, or at least shouldn't be, a relative term. Cultural differences exist that may seem odd, but good is a universal quality that is tacit.
