Answer 1

I definitely know more good people than bad. Who would want to surround themselves with negativity. Believe it or not good does rub off still. There is still a lot of love in the world old hippie. You know it or you would not have asked the question.

Answer 2

I think the world is full of good people. Just so happens that some good people make bad choices. I myself have made some bad choices in life and I am sure at some time another person would labeled me as a bad person. It is all about perspective right? The way another views me or thinks of me doesn't really change who I truly am. Going to have to go with seeing way more good in the souls here on earth than bad.

Answer 3

I have finally realized that everyone is good, I finally understand that all people are good people. There are simply no bad people.

The idea that bad people exist is the product of a particular thought pattern that sees its self as a victim.

It is actually a form of mental illness that makes the one afflicted absolutely believe in the fantasy they are experiencing. It seems to be reality and anyone who disagrees, is thought of as misunderstanding reality or as being wrong.

Bad people, or evil is a thought frame we put around people who do things we do not like. This idea is Point of view specific. That is the action may only look wrong from the unique perspective of the one who perceives the act as being wrong.

It always looks like the correct thing to be doing from the perspective of the one performing the action or they would not be doing it. This is possible because of how differently things can look from the various points of view.

Simple truth is what may be good for you may be seen as being very bad for someone else, or vice versa.

It is these conflicting ideas about what good is that start wars. You need to stop looking at the world in these black and white terms. It does not serve you. It separates you and isolates you and makes you feel and sound like a victim.

Answer 4

Hi old hippy! I defiantly know more do gooders than bad ones, yep!
We all saw how NY and the rest of the States, and the World reacted after 9/11. So I think the human race (when it counts) is good.
Every day we can see acts of kindness, or create acts of kindness if we really try. Peace and love right back at you!

Answer 5

I know for more good people than bad. It just seems that one experience with a bad person can wipe out the good feelings that we have had with others. I still believe that there is a lot of good in the world, much more good than bad, and that people are created for good, to help others, and most want to do good. Still there are those in positions of power, CEO's, world leaders, supervisors, who can make life miserable for the people who live and work under them. If all the good people could focus their energy on being good, staying positive, and considering the feelings and welfare of others, the world would be a much better place, and would overcome all of the negativity that is in the world today.

Answer 6

Well, that is a broad question. I know a lot of bad people in the business communities that are actually pretty decent people at home. On the other hand, I also know a few really nice people that lead absolutely disgusting, BAD lives in private.

Generalizing, though, I would say that I know more good people than bad people. I would not trust using that as a "world average," though.

Answer 7

Think I'll add my 2 cents' worth here as well, then you'll have just about enough to start a load of laundry; there are way more good people than bad in the world, although not necessarily flawlessly good most people are not truly evil. We all have our good & bad moments, sometimes just let the bad take over temporary control and run amok. Smile, catch ya later.

Answer 8

I can honestly say that I know more good people then bad. but then I tend to collect good people rather than bad, so they get discarded very quickly. I've certainly met some bad and there are several I have to keep in my life... at least for the moment. But on the whole, I'd say that 80% of the people in my life are good folks. I don't have the time or the energy to waste on the others.

Answer 9

There are more good than bad. The irony is that good ain't good enough for God. I found those whom Christians classify as sinners, being some of the best people, having the biggest hearts, givingest natures around. So even bad people can be good. Hell, to decieve you the devil will even pose a decent gesture. What does it mean in the end?

Answer 10

I think almost all of the people I know personally have some good in them. I think most of the people I know would show that good more often if the rest of the world was good. I think we all need to start being good all at once, and then we won't have an excuse for not being good. On the count of three...
