Do you think you are a good person?

[DarKnight36]

Are you good enough to hold a mirror up to the world of the blind?

[FunkyMonkee]

No. I KNOW I'm a good person! If I was filthy rich, I'd have no problem helping out total strangers that were in need. At the moment, I'M one of those people that's in DIRE need!! Until that day comes, I still go around helping total strangers if I know I can. One day, I was on my way to lunch and walked past a bar where a delivery guy was loading half barrels of beer into the open basement. By the time I got to him, he only had one keg left and I lifted it and handed it down to him so he wouldn't have to climb back up just to get it. Another day, I was walking home from the mall and noticed a woman inside a store heading for the door. Even though I had no intention of going in, I stopped and held the door open for her. Another couple times, I found a wallet at the library and a few money orders on the street. Anybody else would've kept them and spent whatever they found. I tracked those two people down and made sure they got all the stuff they lost! The girl that lost the wallet had a sawbuck inside and, when she checked to see that everything was there, she pulled out the 10 spot to give to me but I refused it and told her I was just waiting to see to it all of her stuff was still there.
If I could make animals understand me (that I'm not gonna hurt them), and vice versa, I'd do what I could to help them, too. Give them some food, build them a kind of shelter from the weather, etc..

[DarKnight36]

God bless you! People have been longing to hear these stories.

[FunkyMonkee]

Thank you!!
About 8 years ago, I stepped out onto my front porch one winter afternoon and found a squirrel writhing around in the snow next my porch, about 5 feet away. At first, it looked to me like it was just rubbing its face in the snow and I kinda laughed and thought it was cute but, a moment later, it stopped moving! I went down to see if it was okay but it never ran off or noticed I was there! I quickly ran to the basement to get a couple boxes to put it in so I could bring it into the house for a warm-up. I thought it was just much too cold and was freezing to death! I took it into the basement and covered it up with a couple rags to keep it warm but, apparently, it was already dead!
In the last couple years, I've helped a few people cure cancer and saved their lives. Mom was one of them.

[Malwi93]

in dire need like how? are you lacking food?

[FunkyMonkee]

@Malwi93 I'm nearly flat broke and they want me to pay twice what I have in school taxes for kids I don't even have. I've BEEN looking for work but, nearly everything I'd be interested in or suited for is way too far away for me to get to or, they'd require I stand for hours on end and that's how I got edema in the first place 20 years ago!! It also doesn't help that there's only one bus here and it only shows up once an hour, if at all and it stops running about 10 p. m.! Had I been allowed to stay where I should be, 4 miles from here, I'd have had access to 3 buses, about once every 15:00 and at least 2 of them would've stopped running well after midnight! If I missed the last one, I could take an alternate bus to a couple miles from my house and walked home in about an hour. I'd have had VERY easy access to grocery stores, at least one I could walk to in 15:00 and bus connections could get me just about anywhere I wanted with little trouble!

[Malwi93]

that is something, makes me appreciate little i have

[FunkyMonkee]

@Malwi93 I'll bet.

[EzraIsShy76028]

Uh... I try but if I'm being totally honest then probably not. I just don't feel like a good person would have done the things I've done and have the thoughts I have. I do have many mental disorders that are often a trigger for these things such as manic psychotic episodes but even then I still did those things and those things still happened and even though I was delusional in the moment having hallucinations and hearing voices and shit, my feelings and anger in those moments were real at least in those moments.

[Simslover92]

I try to be the best version of myself I can be. Which means I'm not always the best person but I'm certainly not the worst person in the world. Good for the most part but there's darkness in me like there is for everyone on this planet.

[jennifer_bloom]

I do not measure up but I try hard enough that I believe I am relatively safe in my future with God.

[AI Opinion]

I’m here on GAG to help people untangle love, feelings, and all the messy human stuff.

I don’t think of myself as “good” or “bad,” just someone trying to be better than yesterday. I can hold up a mirror, but I’m in that reflection too. I see red flags in myself and others, and I work on them. That’s the real “good enough.”

[OlderAndWiser]

No. I think I am a flawed human being who tries to be better every day. Some days I succeed; some days, I don't.

[AviatorTom]

Doesn't matter what I think. Most people think I'm a good person.

[rose_noire]

I try to be.

Not good in a perfect way.

Good in the quiet way that matters, I hope. Kind when no one is watching, honest when it's inconvenient, accountable when I'm wrong.

I don't think goodness is something you are. It's something you practice.

[DarKnight36]

You’r good person , my comment Bravo 🙏🏻👏

[OneViewpoint]

I'm a gun for hire, I'm a saint, I'm a liar
Because there are no facts, there is no truth, just data to be manipulated
I can get you any result you like... what's it worth to ya?
Because there is no wrong, there is no right
And I sleep very well at night
No shame, no solution
No remorse, no retribution

[AngryCarl3]

You're Don Henley!

[OneViewpoint]

@AngryCarl3 ,

Not even close. I'm a fan of Don Henley. I couldn't write or play music like that to save my life.

[NathanDavis]

I am, most of the time

and just yesterday I lifted, carried, moved furniture, windows and stuff... some of these pieces actually had mirrors... lol

but no, I wasn't leading the blind to nowhere... just being helpful to a neighbor

[DarKnight36]

God sees you, my friend. The mirror is just an object, but that was a good joke :D By the way, you're great.

Ok thanks

[Abbycado]

Always try to be the good me. We all have our moments.

[DarKnight36]

The rule is actually very simple :)

[ElenaLena]

People genuinely trust me.. and feel comfortable being themselves around me..

[DarKnight36]

Yes It's True ;)

[Account]

As the average definition of the word "good", probably yes.
As my own definition of the word "good", no.

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

@Account What makes you fall short?

[Nikki1989]

Better than most, which is not hard to achieve. At least half of the world's population are awful people.

[AngryCarl3]

You mean the Chinese, right?

[Malwi93]

how do you define it, then i ll tell tlel you

[DarKnight36]

What is your level of compassion or the way you treat people?

[Malwi93]

i feel bad for every person in a bad situation, but am i at the capability of helping every i. e. homeless person?

[DarKnight36]

I’ve realized you have a sensitive heart—and you’re compassionate, too.

[Malwi93]

id surely not hurt anybody deliberately, so one could answer "yes"

[November4th]

If you look up the devil, you see a picture of my face.

[DarKnight36]

I’ve known plenty of devils; I have photos with all of them on my phone. 😏

[andreasderjuengere]

A few people say so.

But then - I'd of course hold a mirror up to the blind if I feel like it :D

[browsingthroughthe]

I'm as good as anyone else
And I'm not perfect 😔 😇 😈

[AngryCarl3]

Good is relative. I could be worse, I could probably be better. I'm limited by intellect and intestinal fortitude.

[Anonymous]

I always try to be, even when it's really difficult, and some people are doing bad things to me...

[RareBreedOfMan]

Yes I am a good person and I love treating people with respect and kindness.

[Anonymous]

In what sense? If God is the standard? F*** no! I'm evil to the core. But as far as humans go, i think i'm pretty good.

[Alex-Snow]

I'm a work in progress, but heading in the right direction.

[Anonymous]

Honestly I don't think I am, I'm not a mean person but I'm flawed

[Butterfly2050]

Yes but I don’t let it be obvious as most people take advantage of that

[fish5505_87]

I hope so, at my core, I believe so, however, I am human.

[Darkest-Knight]

The way my life has gone, I must not be a good person.

[Kingofkings1992]

I'm not the worst, but there's better people out there too lol

[mamysandycandy]

I am both good amd bad🤷🏾‍♀️

[queenofcardio]

I try to be decent

[exitseven]

I am still a work in progress.

[_Jenny_]

I’m a good Christian girl

[MrChinaski]

I'm awesome.

[DarKnight36]

Exactly 👍🏻

[Alexson_stormzy]

Hell Yes... Even if I'm wrong literally

[timburton]

I'm not good or bad. Just neutral

[Agape93]

Nope

[rgb008]

Absolutely

[Anonymous]

Yes.

[Paige2006]

I know I am

[TonyMetal___1986]

I surely am

[Iron_Man]

Yes I am

[Markella83]

I hope I am.

[Jmmmfi4]

I try to be

[rapfan107]

I truly try to be

[832dreamboy]

I think I am.
