A hero on the news was described as a God fearing man. Friends and neighbors
attributed his bravery as a result of this attribute—the simple fact that the man feared God.
It was the fear of punishment that drove the man to
do good works.
But I don’t think fear is ever a chaste motivator. I
do not think intimidation, while at times yielding a favorable result, lives in
the house of good intent. Selfless acts are best sparked by love. Selfless acts
should be positively inspired---doing
good for the sake of doing good—not because not
doing good snaps a retaliatory trap.
Inspiration is nobly conceived in God’s love—not God’s wrath.
Because intent drives true selflessness. Good intent authenticates
heroism.
And love, in every instance, is always the key.
