Total honesty, with yourself and everyone else.
Yes I do.
In terms of going out of my way to help people, be uplifting, remember all I meet as
individual and worthy people. Yes.
Lately I am being told I am evil simply because of my politics so I am in doubt.
There is a proverb that says doubt is an evil.
I know better. The flaws are inescapable and I am without an excuse, because I have actually bothered to attempt to reason this one through. It’s about “success” and particularly the amassing of material excesses while aware of the implications.
How much is enough?
I’m a person. :)
I help a lot of people and animals with no regard to cost, social status or what anyone thinks.
On the other hand once I stop being kind or you rip me off or hurt a kid or animal, I turn ruthless.
The people behind me almost killed their puppy a few weeks ago. Leaving him in record heat with no shelter, water he knocked over, and a huge chain he got tangled up in. He had it wrapped around his neck so tight we barely saved him.
I personally talked to them 3x nicely, the last she cussed me out. So one day the next week the dog disappeared never to be seen again-in this town.
So yeah, I’m just a person. Good is a subjective opinion.
I’m usually neutral. I pick my battles, and keep to myself. I take cabs wherever I go outside.
I think most people are good.
I know I’m good because my intentions are good/neutral.
If I’m in some situation where I’m able to take advantage of you, I’m not going to because I simply don’t feel the need to.
I have stuff of my own, so I don’t need to take from others.
My ego is in check, so I don’t care about being insulted or defending my honor or reputation because I already know if someone felt the need to attack me, if would be from their own perceived issues in their own head.
I just don’t have any reason to enter into conflict with anyone I guess.
Yes, I believe I am.
and on that note, let me just say: YOU GO @KNOWITALL!!! you’re my hero!!!
@smudges It was on the back side of MY fence dying, like 7 month old white pibble boy.
They had no hope against 4 homegirls on a rescue. Ha!
^^ awwwww {{hugs}} May the universe bless you!
I try to be and I’m confident I’m not an evil person so…close enough.
I feel like a kitten among wolves sometimes, but I want to be good and help others whenever I can. I don’t even like swear words or saying bad things about anyone. I know I’m far from perfect but I do keep trying to do right.
I see myself as someone who tries to live in the positive lane in the life trip. I stray sometimes.
I think it’s more significant whether other people see me as a good person than what I deem myself.
Nope. I’m a piece of work. But at least I’ll admit it. “We are as God made us, and oft times a good deal worse”. Anonymous
OFF COURSE I do- I’m one bitchin’-ass dude!
If you doubt me, just ask my cell mate!
It’s something that I try, to always see in the mirror.
But. It’s a constant work of progression, and recession.
I follow my code.But. I have never loved myself. I feel like all of the ingredients are here. But. I have yet to put it all together.and love myself, for being. I’m still young/ish. Still trying.
No.
But I’m honest.
Okay I’m lying.
But admitting that doesn’t make me bad.
Or good.
Just human, and I can live with that.
As long as there’s no math.
Because a truly good person doesn’t need to be a genius.
They can get by on their looks and money.
I think if I was really beautiful I’d be rich.
It just hasn’t worked out that way.
Dammit.
A good person wouldn’t really care, though.
And not caring is easy for me.
So maybe that’s it.
I’m a good person because I don’t care.
I feel better now.
Thanks for asking.
@MrGrimm888 Good to hear from you, buddy!!! Hope you’re doing better.
@WhyNow – Damn! That gurl sings like a Good Person.
@WhyNow – “Giving a good Morgan James” is now in my bedroom vocabulary ;P
If I can fill in what giving a “Morgan James” is, I think I’ll manage.
I’m still waiting on a donor.
Maybe. If I were a “good person. ”........
@Brian1946 from what I know about you, I guess you weren’t there on purpose :)
@MrGrimm so glad to see you here! There are people here me at least who totally think you are a good person :)
@JLoon As good as the girl in my link?
@Zaku – We’re talking a different level of gooderness.
I try to to be and think of myself as a good person, even if I don’t always feel it.
It’s how you treat others, and the world around you, kind of thing.
