Do you consider yourself and 'good' or 'bad' person? Have you done something that makes you either or?

Question

I used to thinl that I was a bad person, purely because I had rotten luck and only bad things happened to me! Now I think I am quite a nice person, I like myself I wondered what you all thought of yourselves?

Answer 1

Im probably a little from column A and a little from B, mostly because i try to treat others well, im a fairly honest and non hypocritical person, and im friendly and caring...but in the same respect i think that if people knew alot of my thoughts deep down, i think they would probably change their minds.....

I dont think its so much that im a "bad" person either, its just that nobody can be completely good all the time, we all have bad thoughts, its what defines us as human beings, and we need to have that balance in the world.....

Answer 2

I think it's hard to say who's good and who's bad. Someone might appear to be good, like they might do loads of charity work or always be there to help or just generally be nice but how do we know they're doing it just because they're nice? There are people who do loads of charity work, volunteering etc and they do it to make themselves look good so they'll get more attention, surely that's not so good?

On the other hand, someone might appear really bad, like they've done loads of things wrong, broken the law, been disrespectful, not helped out where they could have, the list is endless. But if they've done all this, how do we know that they're not thinking differently? For all we know, we could be labelling them as evil or whatever when actually they are overwhelmed with guilt, anger at themselves, helplessness that they continually do the 'wrong' thing, they might be trying really hard to do the right thing but other people don't give them the benefit of the doubt and continue to label them as 'bad'.

I reckon I'm a good person all in all - I've done many things I shouldn't have done and things which have hurt others, but I like to think that the unbelievable weight of guilt and ashamedness I experienced afterwards, and the fact that due to the experince I could never ever hurt people in that way again, I like to think that makes me a 'good' person.

Answer 3

I think i am a good person, i always try and do things for others, sometimes i do too much for others and don't put myself first enough(so family and friends tell me) but its just the way i am. I helped someone very close to me this week (won't go into it, too long a story) but its worked out well in the end. I believe that every one needs support and if i can be there for someone it makes me feel good too!
May i just add, i can be very naughty too - nudge nudge, wink wink ( didn't want to come over all poncy!) ha ha ha

Answer 4

I think I am a good person overall -- at least that's what I strive to be. Sometimes, I give in to temptation or let anger rule me and I act like a bad person a bit. But I believe that I act good much more often than I act bad.

Answer 5

Me consider myself a mediocre person the common 5/8 have good thoughts bad thoughts but as to harming a person or persons not in my nature get angry get frustrated just get on with it so your choice

Answer 6

I consider myself to be a good person. I never say anything about someone unless it is something nice. I help my fellow men, I am generous in mind and materials. I have never `fallen out` with anyone, not since I was a child. I rarely argue with people, and I mind my own business.

Answer 7

I am a good person. But I have done bad things before. nothing really bad though.

Some times I am too good to people

Answer 8

You are who you are.
If you were born a cat, you would be hunting mice and milk all day.
If you were born cow, you would need your fill of grass.

And naturally, if you were born a king, you would not have to do a darn thing all day.

Now, if you were born a good person would you want to be bad?

And if you were born a bad person, would you want to be good?

Now if you are born a living person, do you want to die?

But I am sure that if you were born dead, you would certainly want some life.

So work it out for yourself.
