What traits and qualities make someone a good or bad person.
Some people are nice, some not so much. I know the difference between right and wrong, but in this question, I’m trying to deal with the fine details. I’m not looking at the core of the problem, say such as greed could be considered, I’m trying to look at the fine details.
The best way to put it that I can think of, is “What are some dick-moves?”, but that does not quite sum up my thoughts either.
What are some common dick moves?
What are common but specific signs someone could be an asshole?
What are some sure signs a person is good?
How do so many bad people manage to pass for good for so long?
Mash those questions together, and you get the full picture of what I’m asking.

Dick move- Being nice and using someone until you don’t need them any longer, then not having their back when they need some help.
Nice- Always being there for someone who needs you and never expecting anything in return.
How do so many bad people manage to pass for good for so long? Look at my dick move example.
Honesty.
Trustworthiness.
Listening skills.
Sense of Humor.
Caring About Others.
Good – Do good things without proclaiming he did it.
Bad – Do good things then demand something in return.
There is good, when you do the right thing out of empathy.
There is nice, when you do the right thing out of some twisted passive aggressive belief that people of the opposite sex will find you attractive or people in general will be nice to you in return.
Then there is bad, when you do whatever you want, with or without being nice.
Being good often means not being nice.
I think you need to watch somebody way to close to figure out what they are.
When you are doing something nice you can ask yourself am I doing this to be good? Best I can do to help you along.
glowing red eyes.. sure sign of a bad person.
People who use other people are my pet peeve.
@marinelife and @mazingerz88 pretty much covered it.
It’s taken me almost 52 years to realize that not everyone has the same intentions I do.
I still believe most people are more good than bad, but, I am still learning to be discerning.
Two things that move someone into the “bad” column for me:
• Lack of empathy
• Consistent selfishness
Those are deal-breakers for me and I’ll want nothing to do with them.
I have to admit, I also give the fish-eye to people who claim to dislike children or animals. But that’s my personal hang-up.
There is no such thing as a “good” person. There is no such thing as a “bad” person. People simply are who they are. We often feel the need to judge others by our standards of what is “good” and what is “bad,” when what we really need to do is learn to judge BEHAVIOR by whether it is effective or ineffective, and to gently correct those with ineffective behavior.
God loves everyone, and we are called to do the same. It’s not easy, but it has its rewards. : )
@CaptainHarley
I agree, but some with bad behaviors do need to be driven from the flock. ;-)
If gentle persuasion doesn’t work, sometimes a really good smack upside da head does! : D
