Henry David Thoreau
“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” To me, this quote means that you can invest in many things in life, but there is always going to be chance of failing. But there is only one investment, which will never fail you in life. That investment is goodness. Goodness will always reward you, whether it’s financially, or emotionally. Goodness will never cease to pay out, and that should strive you to commit more acts of goodness. An example can your friend committing a crime. If you turn him in, that is an act of goodness. Even though he/she is your friend, you have to the what’s right. You may even get rewarded financially for providing help that led to his arrest. The victim may also pay you with friendship, or many other things. Goodness is an investment that will never fail, and it may result in a huge profit. It will express your morality and character, and will enlighten your name. Everyone should follow this because it allows us to practice goodness, while benefitting in several ways.
