From time to time (and I haven't been a member long enough) I see people asking questions like "where have all the good people gone?", " are there any good people left in this world?", "can you trust anyone nowadays?", etc... and usually people reply saying that there are good people left, that they personally are good people, etc. If the response is so positive and everyone seems to ask themselves the same, then how come all of those who think the same (including myself) don't manage to meet any "good people"? I mean how come all of us who are looking for good people (and at least in peoples' answers it seems that many are looking for good people) haven't met with each other?

Everybody no matter how evil believes themselves to be a good person. They are just misunderstood victims of circumstance.
Still there are loads of good people out there. Try doing good yourself and join a voluntary organisation like St. John's Ambulance, Friends of the Earth, British Conservation Volunteers etc. There are hundreds of charities out there and though there are a few power freaks among them the vast majority are really nice people.
Nobody is perfect though, including yourself, so don't give up on someone when you discover they have a character flaw. Somebody totally good would not be a very comfortable friend.

The percentage of good people vs. the ones that suck are infinitesimally small in regaurds to society as a whole.
Then there is the fact that people as a individual can have their good points and merits. Although people as a group or cosiety as a whole, are nothing more than pack animals that go with the way the wind is blowing.
So the reason you have not met all these nice people are from reasons like distance, age brackets, dtime zones and just because the sheer number of the ones who suck.

I think one of the reasons besides the fact that answers are coming from all over is the fact that people are judged by looks and what they have and there are a lot of good people out there, but they may not wear the latest cloths or maybe they are a little or a lot over weight. Unfortunately we judge on other things before kindness first.

I think that there are many good people, but we're in a society and culture where you just don't trust anyone anymore. I try to be a good person, but the world is just so vast that I don't feel that goodness returned and I don't get to exercise it as often as I would like to.
Don't get discouraged though! Keep being you!

Because you won't necessarily find a time where you will see someone being good. Just remember not to judge the rest by the actions of a bad minority, as they are far more visible and give a bad impression where the vast majority are actually good people.

Ever for the reason that i grew to become into little and til on the present time i've got continually referred to as my mum "Mummy" and my dad "Daddy". in basic terms because of fact they never replied to "mum"/"dad". and it is many times caught, i assume. comparable with my siblings, too. I swear each and every time my mom calls me at artwork, and that i answer asserting "hi, mummy", i'm getting the main strangest seems from my artwork colleagues. They continually discover that hilarious and many times take the mic. and that i will particularly see why it is humorous lol yet, it isn't replaced, and that i doubt it is going to. mothers and fathers will continually be Mummy and Daddy. And in particular because of fact they gained't respond to the rest from their little ones! : )

Good question- maybe you're looking in all the wrong places. They say love finds you when you are not looking for it. Maybe it's the same concept with meeting "good people". Best of luck to you in finding some good people. I believe I am one of them.

I suppose we need to know what your definition of a good person is! I think I'm a good person but I'm known to be bossy and opinionated. I'm honest and helpful and I think I'm kind. I know lots of people who are the same, actually.
