Episode description

Since we recently asked if it is good to be good, and found that it is, we now continue and find that being instructed to be good is a trap.

It leads us to the belief that our worth is related to our performance in this world.  It also leads us to a life with guilt.  We quickly take a closer look at guilt is and how it serves us.

Then we ask if it indeed is true that our worth is related to our performance.  To answer this we must first know who we are.  And so, we review who we truly are.

To see how the trap of tying our worth to our performance plays out we look at the example of sharing information, knowledge, experiences with others.

Finally we discuss how knowing who we are, we can avoid the trap of wanting to be good, and actually automatically be good.
