Why should we never underestimate a good person?

Answer 1

which means...we should never underestimate anyone. :)

Answer 2

Sometimes those thought of as " good " are found to be more of the " quiet " type. Simply because a person reflects to be more quiet / good...people as those are at times not respected and overlooked. You've heard the phrase " Watch out for the quiet ones " ? . . . There is something to that phrase.

There's much " churning " within people as those. Something to pay attention to and not underestimated.. :~).

Answer 3

because if you underestimate them and take advantage of their goodness one day you may not just have lost them as a friend but have made an eternal and dangerous enemy. I was a very good friend to someone for many years and one day her own bad behaviour and guilt over it led her into underestimating me and I walked. Luckily for her I walked and left it at that, having no desire for revenge, it still rankles that she had to spoil a long and good friendship but I know at times she misses me but although I forgave her long since I will be very unlikely to ever want to see her again. sad but that is the price she had to pay and considering all the knowledge I had on her I feel she got off very well indeed.

Answer 4

If anything, think to much of them regardless of what kind of person they are. Because you can always take away from how you think about them. Taking away is a lot easier than underestimating someone.

Answer 5

I don't understand why anyone would UNDERESTIMATE a good person. The world needs more good people. If everyone were good and treated others as they want to be treated, the world would be a batter place.

Answer 6

Your question put me in mind of something that happened to me when I visited my then-fiancee's (now husband's) parents and family for the first time. He had been divorced in a colorful and expensive way, and his family (I heard much later in confidence) had decided to test me to see if I was dishonest or a "good" person. They purposefully left money lying around for me to find, for the expressed purpose of determining my honesty with regard to other people's property. I completely passed it by and didn't even remember the incident until my husband told me of it years later.

He told my mother-in-law of this, and my mother-in-law, equating duplicity with intelligence, decided that I was not very bright. She treated me as if I had a disability just because I wasn't dishonest and didn't try to cheat people out of their money and position. She is a very unhappy person and sees a scheme under every rock. Does her worldview, including scorning my refusal to be petty, make her life unfulfilling? I think so. She sees only the negative and doesn't understand a person who is not evil.

The illustration of the above story may be seen as tooting my own horn, but I truly believe my mother-in-law would benefit by modifying her ideas that a good person must be mentally challenged and less than intelligent. It would do her good.

Answer 7

Show me a good person. I know of only One. He was (and still is) largely underestimated, falsely accused, illegally tried and sentenced to die.

Answer 8

Unfotunately, quite often Kindness is mistaken for Weakness!

Despite the fact that the older I get the more cynical I become I am still gratified to find good people abounding in society. They of course are counterbalanced by many rotten ones too.
