If You Have The Tendency To See Only The Good In People...?

Question

Are you more apt to be surrounded by deceitful people?

Or does like energy...attract like energy?
(i.e. good people attract good people.)

Or do thoughts create reality?
(i.e. see the good and manifest the good.)

What do you think occurs when an individual has a tendency to only sees the good in people?

Answer 1

Seeing good in people depends on how much ones mind is free from prejudice. Seeing good in people and prejudice are both natural tendencies which occur subconsciously. One cannot predict what will happen to that particular individual unless the individual is aware of his sub conscience and even then, he/she will be the only one who can make the prediction. That means the happening will be his/her choice, so we are left only with the ability to judge and not predict.

Answer 2

I think it is great to see the good in people but don't blind yourself from the bad. Most people in the world are good hard working people, but the 10% bad makes it hard on everyone because the bad they do always gets more attention than what the good people do. Just watch the news and you will see a lot more bad news than good. It is just like in Iraq, all you ever hear about is death, you don't hear about the new schools, the people that have running water that didn't ever have it before, the people that actually have electricty in their homes. That is a very good question that you asked and deserves a lot of good answers.

Answer 3

I disagree that good attracts good and evil attracts evil. I think opposites attract, which is not always a bad thing. Life is a learning experience and we learn from observation and experiences. The greatest energy is created by the friction between opposites--sometimes bad energy and sometimes good energy. There is good in everyone and there is evil in everyone. Each and every person may not be tuned in to recognize those characteristics in others or even within themselves. I believe we make choices every day about which energy we want to be--good or evil. I choose good and try to project it and try to see it in others. I admire people with positive energy who bring that positivity out in others. It's an admirable quality. I suspect that's their "gift" to share with others. Amen, let's eat.

I knew a woman like that. Everyone around her seemed good when she was with them. Then she died and everyone around her reverted back to the persons they were when she was not around. I guess that means that you have to wait and see. I know the vast majority of those people left and were never heard from again. But while she was alive they were all great. So I would guess the answer is Yes, at least as in as much as they are deceitful as compared to you.

Answer 5

would be great if I only could that, but unfortunately I tend to be blinded sometimes just by some aspects. It has to do with trust in people around me. Unfortunately.

I tend to believe also that yes, energy attracts people, but this occurs only seldom.

I am only human....with particular features...


how about you Lucky3 ?

Answer 6

From my experience, people that tend to only see the good in people are also known as gullible. My dad is like that, as is one of my better friends. They're just too trusting, and I've had to spend a lot of time explaining to them how people are trying to scam them. It isn't fun.

Answer 7

If you tend to see the good in people.. you will very often find it becuase most people are mostly good. You have to give it time to find out though. You have to trust most people I believe but don't be too trusting untill you really know them. As much as I know that most people are not decietful we are all just have our own selfish desires and mostly look out for what we personally want. If you really look at yourself you will find this to be true. So trust everybody but not completely. Just sit back and watch and people will reveal themselves to you.

Answer 8

I think expectations create our reality. I expect good from those around me, and I tend to receive it in kind. When bad things are done to me, they usually don't register so much. That's just not within my usual scope of expectation.
It doesn't matter if my world is shite to an outside observer if I choose to see the good and filter the shite.

Answer 9

with the whole energy thing....i don't think that's true. if anything opposites attract. "good" people are bound to be attracted to "bad" people, because the natural goodness in them can't ignore a person in help.

for me personally, i see the good in people to neuturalize any bad i see in someone. not necessarily to erase the bad in them, and become blind to it, but just to keep in check of my thoughts and actions towards them. also, every has the potential to be good, whether it's locked in or floating around freely, and it's also a "good" person's will to unlock it or get it into gear. i never see only the good in people, because that's no longer being a "good" person in doing so. all it does is blind me to situations in which they might need help. again, i see the good in people just to keep in mind that the bad isn't all there is in someone.

i think in general, bad people are attracted to good people because they tend to take advantage of good people (if given the oppurtunity), and good people attracted to them to help them (when given the oppurtunity). i think in the process of doing so, good people see the good in bad people to help move along their actions of helping them.

Answer 10

Seeing good people will definitely bring good and positive things in life. Good attracts good and evil attracts evil.
