Why does "good" get boring?

The topic of this blog was inspired by a tweet from my bud @joskidiesel. This piece will also be featured on her blog (joskidiesel.blogspot.com). Lets begin with some definitions to bring light to what the term "good" means as well as its opposite (bad), which is what I'd think those "bored" of it would then revert to [courtesy of my macbook dictionary]:

good |goŏd|
adjective ( better |ˈbetər|, best |best|)
• to be desired or approved of : we live at peace with each other, which is good | a good quality of life.
• pleasing and welcome : she was pleased to hear good news about him.
• expressing approval : the play had good reviews.
• possessing or displaying moral virtue : I've met many good people who made me feel ashamed of my own shortcomings
• giving pleasure; enjoyable or satisfying : the streets fill up with people looking for a good time.
noun
• that which is morally right; righteousness : a mysterious balance of good and evil (bad).

We'll come back to that last statement...

bad |bad|
adjective ( worse |wərs|; worst |wərst|)
• unpleasant or unwelcome : bad news | bad weather.
• unsatisfactory or unfortunate : bad luck | [as n. ] ( the bad) taking the good with the bad.
• regretful, guilty, or ashamed about something : working mothers who feel bad about leaving their children.
• morally depraved; wicked; naughty; badly behaved : the bad guys | bad language | a bad reputation | what a bad girl | bad behavior.

I'm all about love, peace, positivity, and all things "good," but I like to think that life is about balance. Everything has its polar opposite, and in that, there are two sides to every fence, every spirit, every being, everything...some of which we can control, others, not so much. Case and point, good for some is not always easily obtainable, and thus, it often takes effort to maintain (more than "bad" it seems), but even so, we must not lack awareness or be naive to the world of wicked bliss. A good example would be sex, which is no doubt pleasurable, but some believe it to be a bad thing to dabble in if not married, making you a very bad girl/boy (hehehe). Ironically and erotically enough, people often like to be "punished" for being "bad" in their sexual escapades, which is another topic and blog in itself lol.

The example given in the last definition of "good" touches on the notion of balance. Ironically enough, the second definition's example of bad does as well. This to me explains that clearly we all must be assured of this necessity. Ultimately we all have to come to grips that no one is perfect, and though some of us like to think we are "good" all the time, or at least try to be, we must also acknowledge that the statement alone is flawed and/or "bad". After all, no one can be good all the time. Both need to exist in order to recognize one another. How could either be defined if not for the other's presence?

To specifically answer the question this blog asks, why does good get boring, I don't think its a matter of boredom, but moreso freedom. Definition in its own implies that there are grammatical rules and unsaid abidance that we all must conform to. This alone forces people into rebellion, regardless of the side you revel in most. When it boils down to it, ones core, ones soul, ones heart and their overall outward expression of such is what determines how good or bad they are, and even so, who are we to judge or define that?

Of course we all have the ability to recognize good and bad in a general sense. You can't confuse (unless you're missing a screw or 10 lol) a murderer for doing a good deed, but we must understand that even he has the capacity to do good, he just made the choice not to. There's a quote that I want to conclude with, tho it'll technically be my quote because I can't remember the source nor its exact wording lol, but here goes...even a saint will eventually become curious of sin, its natural. Therein lies your answer :-)
