"When I do good, I feel good. When i do bad,I feel bad."
- Abraham Lincoln

No truer words have ever been spoken by Abraham Lincoln. When you feel good, when you do something that you self know its right, you feel good. You have a sense of either pride or happiness because you feel good about yourself. Doing good may also lead to some positive consequences or even rewards. The positive reinforcement will then come back and leave you feeling good as well. Abraham also stated the opposite, when you do bad, you feel bad. Here Abraham meant that when you choose the wrong and do something you is wrong, it will lead to you feeling bad about yourself. You may often be left with some type of guilt, there for it will leave you feeling bad. Even if you do not initially know something is bad, or you do not intentionally mean to do it, when you do find out your actions had a negative effect on someone, the you yourself begin to blame yourself and thus feel bad. Negative actions will have negative consequences which in turn will also leave you feeling bad.

An example of doing good and bad can happen when you are taking a test. If you stayed up all night studying and memorizing the topics and really put in effort in it. When you take the test and pass, you feel really good about yourself because you know you put in all your effort into the class. If you do not study at all and the day of the test you cheat and copy of someone else, you may still pass but you will feel guilty and thus feel bad about yourself.
