“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”
~Henry David Thoreau
What the statement means to me is the goodness is the only way to become successful. You cannot do bad actions and succeed, it is not possible. Also what I believe what Henry David Thoreau meant is if you are good and respectful to people it will never backfire. For example if someone accidentally dropped their wallet on the ground and does not know then you have to do the right thing and return it to the proper owner. Then you will get good karma but if you decide to keep the wallet then you will get bad karma because you did not choose the right. You always have to do what is right. If you always choose the wrong and make bad decisions then you will regret t when you become an adult. When you’re older you will think about what you did when you were a child and you will be ashamed for the bad actions you did.
