Dou you think there's a good balance...?

Question

in the good and bad of humanity in general? I tend to think it's easier to see the bad but there is more of the good than we know....

Answer 1

Good and bad are not relative. They are absolutes. The only thing that is relative is the health and wellness of the individual soul, which makes it seem that good and bad are relative. Somebody like Hitler is has a much lower standard for what is considered good because his soul is seriously polluted. In the same way, a child's soul it shocked at things that would not seem so bad to an adult, because the child's soul is mostly pure.

I think there is a good balance. The bad has more of an impact, because it triggers the fight or flight response in us all which is more of an outward response. When good happens, the reaction tends to be more on the inside of people...inner peace, etc.

Answer 2

I think that yes there is a good balance. putting aside definitions of good and bad there has been a higher tolerance of negative things in this world. "It's good to be bad." And to make news or be worthy of talking about there needs to be a shock value. 50 people could hold a door open...no mention. 1 persons slams it on the next person...next thing we know people these days are called inconsiderate. But humanity has so many good people and good things. We choose not to recognize it. It just doesn't stick out as much. which is a shame.

Answer 3

What is good or bad, who determines good from bad , I mean apart from the obvious stuff like mass murders
I can see the good in bad and the bad in good. But I guess your saying that we tend to pick up on the "bad" , and I agree that there is a lot of good in the world and maybe we should share these experiences more.

Answer 4

We tend to get bogged down in the negative. If we're lucky, we have surround ourselves with people who lift us up to see the good in the world. I believe that there is more good than bad. Unfortunately the bad gets better press.

Answer 5

Yes , nothing is bad - it is all only our thinkings . What is bad now will be good after sometime and viceversa. Ofcourse in general any thing that affects others is bad . If we really try hard we can get rid of all bad thinkings from our mind

Answer 6

good and bad are relative values, therefore it is impossible to say how much of either exists because quantity depends on perspective..it is only possible to say that good and bad exist, not as absolutes but directions

Answer 7

you tend to focus on what you expect to see
