every person i see i see something in them i am happy to see.
i know thier are bad people out there in the world like murders and rapest etc etc, and even though thier crimes may be bad ,something inside me see's something good inside them . i know its easy for others to say "good he raped and killed a little girl and you see good" what i mean is maybe in these people somewhere buried deep within thier soul there is a part of them that is longing to be loved but is buried in self pity and guilt..
Do you think that the holy spirit lets us see goodness in others regardless of the situation they are in, for some reason when ever i go to church when i come out something happens, my old self has died and begin anew, recently at work there was a guy who really gave me the craps,today when i was leaving i walked straight up to him and said "it was really nice to meet you,i just want to say goodbye im leaving this place"and even though he'd been mean for some reason i felt sorry for him.why

I also tend to see the real person & not the damanged unreal parts of them, & refuse to judge my brother by their cries for help. It is true that we may not be able to fix all our collective woes, but there is one who can, & when I refuse to judge my brother by his apparent acts & place him lovingly in the arms of the Spirit, I not only save him, I save myself. "Judge not lest you are judged" was not just speaking of the loveable & kind. This does not mean we should not allow people the opportunuty to learn from their mistakes or that we need put ourselves in the line of fire. Sometimes the best help I can give someone is not one on one, but sitting in my chair offering true prayers in their behalf. This is probably an unpopular point of view, but I have been shown that it offers much more peace than returning a bad deed with a bad deed. 2 wrongs never made a right. Thanks, a very thought provoking question.

I'm Atheist. So the holy spirit is not what makes me see the good in everyone. In my opinion there IS good in everyone. You just have to dig deeper to find it in some folks. I heard the story of a man so mean that NOBODY liked him & that was the way he wanted it. Upon his death someone like you & I made the statement
"He was hard to get along with but he could whistle good" I try to look at everyone that way.

I am definately on the same boat as you (: I am a true believer that everyone has good in them. I honestly believe that human emotions are responsible for people giving in to weakness, causing them to do things they really don't want to do, or having no self control until it is too late...

Maybe you're a humanist, and maybe you don't believe in evil. Maybe you simply believe that poor conditions, bad situations, mental problems--madness, these things cause what we perceive as evil, and those involved are just overwhelmed by the experience. Not a bad paradigm.
