I wouldn't characterize myself nor anyone as "good" or "bad". The thing is that we are all in different learning stages. We all face different challenges as well, which trigger different actions and feelings in us. Sometimes people get stuck in choices that are not good for themselves, or not good for others. Sometimes we are conditioned by things like anxiety, depression, fear, doubt or physical illness. But all those are challenges that can help us learn, help us become our improved selves once we overcome them. We are not good or bad, we are simply learning. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes we get stuck. What matters as that we get back up after we are down, no matter how long we are down. And its really important to be patient with yourself, because everyone deserves love and respect. So love and respect yourself, be patient with yourself because you are doing your best with all that's been thrown at you in your journey. Forgive yourself, and be thankful that you are still here and trying. Everything turns out just fine in the end (: small tip: doing what you love, what you are passionate about, will help you regain your sense of identity, confidence and courage whenever you are feeling lost and deprived of meaning.
I think I'm a person who follow the rules and do not believe in the breaking the law.
as far as if im a good or bad person that up for subjective views.
I'm not a bleeding heart but will help out because it the right thing to do. Just becasue im not doing it from the bottom of my heart but i believe in doing the right thing because you have to keep order.
I do not need to do everything from the heart if just doing still sparks the same results. I'm a moralist person but never cared to bother if people see me as a good or bad person.
I guess i always looked at this question as: why does it matter? as long as im not causing chaos and lean on the side of solutions for the bigger the picture that keeps the world turning.
I would barely call myself "decent" rather then good. I got pretty high standards for that. A good person, for me, is one that thinks about others while not becoming a slave to others (one that does things just to accommodate those around him). One that gives more then he takes. One that makes those around him feel relieved they know him and know they can ask him for help if needed. One that is mature (for his age, ofc), responsible, compassionate and strives to better himself and by extension make life for himself and those around him easier. Sorry if the description is a bit disordered, I'm not good at describing personalities but I hope I got the general idea across
I like that you give a description of what you think is good... am trying to understand the concept of goodness and I made a claim that good is what we make it and ur helping me confirm that
Good and bad are different for different people. We will not be having the same yard stick when it comes to good or bad. I'm an atheist but I have no issues with any religions. So some might find me as a bad person nfor not believing in God. I have never stolen , physically abused , sexually taken advantage of a person in my life , I do charity and help people in all ways I can possibly do, I'm a very sexual and kinky person and my sexual fantasies are not always seen okay by a conservative person. So when you ask me if I'm a good or bad person , I would say I do not to anything that I feel is wrong to my consciousness and my ethics.
My motive is to coexist peaceful with everything around me. My boundaries aren't closed and I respect others boundaries as well. I don't lure people for my gain and find happiness in the smallest of things. ☺️ My ambitions are small , like if you as me what exactly what I want in my life then I would say to travel around the world with my Sunday and Friday ( Dog names) and if I find someone like me in between will love to add her with us ☺️
No. As hard as I try, at heart, It's still manipulating people to think I am good. Manipulation itself is not something a good person uses. No matter what, I don't think I'll ever reach that status.
I won't stop trying to help people and be good, but there will always be thoughts of how it will effect my perceived view. Good deed + Manipulation = 0.
Then again, I wouldn't describe myself as a good nor a bad person. I would care for things genuinely if it has a purpose to be cared about. Other than that, I could be a good person; don't expect much from me.
I would say I am. Not being full of myself. I'm nice to people who deserve it, I'm not violent or promiscuous. I have no destructive hobbies and dont want to be filthy rich. Also, I don't actually do things I think of in my head. That one should make me a saint by itself... just saying
I think I'm a genuinely good person. Because I know for a fact that I'm a very respectful person. There are other reasons but I think respecting other people is the number one criteria when it comes to a good person. And I'm not like that all the time, I know how to be disrespectful to those who deserve it.
Because of many reasons. It has a lot to do with the things you wouldn't do to a person if you respect the fact that people are different. It makes you a good person if you know how to treat others and often times than not people don't know how to do that. I could go on and on but it's difficult to make you understand over text. Anyway I'm no Sigmund Freud so I could be wrong. But it works for me and it has for other people.
Well that's just your opinion. You can have that and be good to bad people. To me doing that will only hurt you in the end and they won't change. I'm talking out of experience jsyk
I kinda see why u say respect... buh let me ask, because someone knows what the right thing to do is will guarantee that they'll do it? (๑°⌓°๑) also another question does it make u bad if you don't know how to treat others?
I don't know if it makes you bad or not but it does make you a sociopath. And if one doesn't know that then they should probably see a psychologist or something.
And to your last thing - experiences can be different. Maybe the people you are referring to changed but according to me there is a greater possibility that an asshole will be an asshole no matter what you do.
What is the point then? Also u already answered that question at the end (≧▽≦) what do you as an individual define as respect? And I believe there is a 50-50 chance... the possibility of change or no change can increase and or decrease depending on certain factors such as influence or motive and the strength of it
There are a lot of things and honestly I don't feel like typing all of them. Well what it depends on is none of my business, frankly if someone is a bad person it doesn't matter what the factors are to me. They are bad that's it. I don't like overanalyzing such stuff, there's no point to me.
Why do u dismiss everything? (⑉꒦ິ^꒦ິ⑉) I think what it depends on is ur business if u plan on saying an asshole remains an asshole no matter what you do... and that's where my argument comes in I said it depends on the influence and how strong it is maybe u didn't try hard enough for those u tried to help reform or maybe u didn't give the right motive
I get it, I understand where you come from but why try to change people? Do you really think you being you can change someone? I don't think it's that simple. Plus to me it seems like a waste of your time playing the good person in someone's life just because you can. I've influenced people before and I think I've helped people in difficult times and that's all the reformation I'm willing to do. To the people I care about. If some random person is bad why would I waste my time on them? So I am respectful to strangers by default but if they are 'bad' to me they lose that respectful treatment and get what they asked for.
Yeah well I would rather do something else that's productive. I love helping people I really do but that's mostly physical help to those in need. And helping people in bad times when they are low and need motivation or inspiration. If they give me bullcrap I'm not spoiling my mood because there are other things that would do that for me. Also I think I know why, it's because you're a nice person and you like helping people. Which I honestly can relate to but I've learned to learn the difference between real help and banging your head against the wall. Bit harsh but I hope you get what I mean.
I am good and I am bad just like everybody in existence I mean I remember being so innocent as a child and the man I turned into is so different I have been a real bastard but it goes back and fourth I am caring for those that matter and try to be better.
People are more complicated than spoons, we can't see each other's hearts. I don't believe in good people I've seen and caused too much hurt, but I don't believe in bad people either. I think we're all just people and sometimes what we do is good sometimes it's bad. All we can do is our best.
even though I've suffered a lot and some may laugh at me when i say that but believe me i have ik im a bad person because i let that change me but even though i hurt people around me just to get by all i want is to be understood but that doesn't change anything im a cunt who doesn't care for the feelings of others and hurts them for personal gain
I think I COULD be a genuinely good person. If my life were to end today, I could only be remembered as a coward. But if I get off my ass and make something of myself I might actually be a force for good in this cruel world filled with terrorists and white people.
Never in my life have I been told by anyone who actually knows me that I'm a bad person. It's always the opposite... That I am a good person. I believe that I truly am.
I am for the most part, but I am still an imperfect human being who makes occasional mistakes or poor decisions. Still, I think nearly everyone who knows me would say that I am, even if one or two would disagree.
I know that I'm a good person. But I am not satisfied with that because I work on myself every day... working towards being a better person than I was the day before... there is no satisfaction. Constantly looking to evolve.
