Most people have a personal definition of what Goodwill is. At its simplest, the vast majority might characterize it as extending kindness and respect to others. This is a very good definition, and it’s worth noting that Goodwill seems to be a vibrant and natural element of the human psyche. Because it is a fixed concept which has grown with humanity as the race has evolved, Goodwill will likely be described with as many nuances as there are cultures. We’ll find many and varied definitions of this word in the core beliefs of spiritual systems worldwide. In Christianity there is a famous and often repeated phrase “…peace on earth, goodwill toward men.” One interpretation of this phrase (and there are many) is as an encouragement to humankind to strive after peace using the method of Goodwill.
