Do you believe most people are good?

Question

I think almost everyone are good, here and there you just got monsters, and they are just wearing human skin

The simple matter is that almost no one dose something while thinking "This will be harmful and benfit no one", they always look for how it benfits them, or someone around them, even if there just worng about it, they make up there right
Even in some exstream cases you see that, from stuff like someone say "She asked for it", "They wanted it"… "Its better for them, then to continue"
At times pepole will even lie to them self, say they did it for the greater good, and always they will have some little part of them saying "You are worng", and if they ever dear step to it, they likely break, even that leaks are showing, pepole are trying to aton

Even more, its something I think I heard once about prisons, or any type punisment, its not just something that bendit the victem in the end, but also the guilty, as it helps them feel they where aton to what they did, some times its good, some times it horrible

This all moatly takes out monsters, psycos and the like dont care, there not wired to care

I think a lot of people do bad things but bad is subjective. If someone steals to feed their family, some won't find it as bad as others, for example and there are minor stuff like illegally downloading music or films or trespassing. There are other stuff like rape and murder, but then do we call soldiers who kill their country's enemies bad or are they just doing their duty? Nothing's black and white and I think, for the most part, people are good. They can do bad things but they'd still help someone in need... I think

I know we are Intelligently Designed with sense of right/wrong, Free Will to choose either, and there is a staged System or Law that exercise the Condition of my Choices. Whoever designed the System and those within the System also has the Right to Judge the whole of the System...

I think no one is Good and no matter how enlightened we believe ourselves to be, both in knowledge and experience, there is no Good in us. If there was Good then there would be no struggle within Self, Society, and Culture as exampled below,

"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what i hate I do. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it (Romans 7:15-20)."

I think most people are "not bad." Good is a thing that requires an environment that allows for good behavior, and we simply don't have that in most of the world. We could easily create it but that would infringe on the life purpose of the few bad people in the world, so they ruin it for the rest of us.

Define good. I think most people try to be good. For some people it can mean wildly different things than to others. For one person being good is raising their daughter to be a happy person is good. For another person killing their daughter if she had sex before marriage is good because it protects their family's honour. For one person never hurting anyone is good, for another person risking their life and killing enemy soldiers to protect their homeland is good. So define good. I still think most people try to act good in whatever their understanding of good is.

TenderFantasy · Answer

No not really.

Through out my 38 years of life on earth, I've realized that most people are selfish and will do whatever it is to meet their selfish wants and needs. Whether that's pretending to be nice to you because they want something or just even ignoring you or excluding you (and not even being nice about it) becuase they don't need you or you don't have anything they want from you! .. Bad people don't care WHO they hurt as long as they get a sick satisfaction out of it! Some people even do things intentionally and brag about it to their friends and family, or the world!

I've seen the evil that humans can be capable of. I am just glad that I haven't been a true victim of one of those people!

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Most people are mostly good. Nobody is all good just like nobody is all bad.

ArtemisSilver · Answer

Nope. Being good takes the ability to consider multiple philosophical stances, choose to be good for a good reason, and do so even in the face of difficulty.

Most people are neutral and cowardly, they'll follow whatever the mob is doing and conform out of fear.

This poll is very telling. It shows you how negative overall the women on this site are. 😯

dreamstar72 · Answer

Is this a want/nice thing or a society thing?  Want/nice, the only time most people are good or nice is when they need something from you.  Society, yes most people are civilized

It's why you're not permitted to kill random people.

Most people are good in the sense that most would never harm a child, be a rapist, or commit murder.  I'd say most people are inherently neutral and focus mainly on their well-being.

Most people aren't actually good, very few are actually good. Then there are bad people. Then there are people who are a little bad but mask them as good.
