Basic goodness

Everybody possesses the unconditioned possibility of cheerfulness, which is not connected with either pain or pleasure. You have an inclination: In the flash of one second, you feel what needs to be done. It is not a product of your education; it is not scientific or logical; you simply pick up on the message. And then you act: you just do it. That basic human quality of suddenly opening up is the best part of human instinct. You know what to do right away, on the spot - which is fantastic. That is what we call the dot of basic goodness and unconditional instinct. You don't think: You just feel, on the spot. Basic trust is knowing that there is such a thing as that spark of basic goodness. Although you might be in the worst of the worst shape, still that goodness does exist.
