In your eyes what defines a good person? And in this world is it that great to be good? Ive been questioning lately if my choices to try and do good are really all that special. Maybe being the evil would be easier. Confused about life lol
You’re right to question what it is to be good. We throw the words good and evil around without really concerning ourselves too much with what they mean. It varies from society to society. During the time of Hitler a staunch Nazi was considered a good person, and Jews were considered evil. In some parts of the Muslim world terrorists are considered to be a great good, and the United States is evil. On a personal level it is not quite so ambiguous, but it’s not black and white, either. I know guys who are doing their best to father as many kids as they can and make the state pay for their care. It’s easy to say that is bad. A lot of people think a person’ politics make them a good or evil person. I consider a global warming denier as morally questionable. The issue of abortion is one hot topic that people believe those who are on the other side of the issue than them are evil. I think there are things that just about everybody agrees is bad - lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, and so on. But even that criteria can be disputed. People who are put down by a repressive government might allow themselves to do these things in defiance of that government. In some ways a person might question whether I, personally, have lead a good life. I’ve done little real work. I haven’t accomplished much in my life. I have lived at other’s expense. There are some things I do that are unquestionably good, though. It’s hard to say what is truly evil. There are things that some people do that are bad. Bill Gates and Mike Zuckerburg dealt pretty harshly with others while they built their business empires. They benefitted from other’s work without compensating them. That’s probably bad. Both these guys are giving away their fortunes, so maybe they are more good than bad.

If you’re nice then you get treated a nice by a lot of people. If you are a mean ashole then you get treated like a mean asshole.

To me, a good person is one that does no harm. Never intends malice toward others. The next step is to actually mindfully serve others.

What defines a good person?
If you don’t know by now then you’ve got problems.
Some cities have a bad history of tolerating sex abuse & other crap on people…Many of these cities let the 35+ year olds hit 30s before they had their own experience with psychosis for 2-3 years and made it very hard to survive for a while. These people were told to go to churches to make the voices stop and they are called to do a lot of unethical stuff as it is dirty businessman whom these parishioners serve, like anti-christ situation. These kind will do a 180 degree on you…Friendly one moment and crazy toward you or scam you the next…
I was told, most of the males who act like this will ruin you. Do not stick around…Females may not harm you if you buddy up…
As these folks are getting older, it became obvious to some people if they follow the orders from the devil and screw people, they end up better off and wealthy…It’s devil deal. These will screw anyone lowly if told to do so, even their own family…Some cities have a lot of stuff that is just wrong about the churches, the businesses go under, the cops/court/politicians go dirty and is VERY tough deal for all the females and any of the people who want to maintain ethical lifestyle and these are challenged a lot. People in these situations who still had good job were told to get second property as a bug out but this may screw you when you finally move there for good…If you try to remain in place where you see very screwed up churches & tough scam jobs like bad sex harassments to ruin new females and no unemployment offered like it is art form, you may get stuck there if you remain…
Most of the youngers have been trained to do 180 and passive aggressive stuff but just depends on the city.
You can make your choice of behaviors/ethics and just stick with it silently. Criticism of anyone could get you threatened very badly or worse. Only rule allowed is if you see something you don’t want to be involved with is leaving something wrong silently and do not go back, just make excuses like too busy at work. This may not keep it off if you are desirable to use…Best protection was in a relationship & your SO knows the local turf where you want to socialize, can actually be VERY troublesome to check out any social situations like causes, organizations or meetup.com cause some of these are making slaves in some cities and you may have hard time getting away, even trouble with neighbors, cops or work if you meet the wrong wealthy.
I do not have anything to do with the thought broadcasting crazy talkers in city. or anyone mistreating anyone in my company. Your work and relationship is your line, rest is irrelevant. Homebodies do not get in as much trouble. (Relationships keep the weirdos away and many women go back to the last good ones when they have their own crazy experience as it keeps the local problems away from both of you at work it keeps away sexual harassment situations, fewer social problems from nuts and less vandalism/trespassing at your home eventually. No need to make police report unless you have enough theft to meet your insurance deductible, rest gets you labeled crazy by the cops and subjected to long psych evaluation at your own expense to run you out. Some of the anti-christ churches will challenge marriages sometimes and cause divorce later if one partner could be usable as a problem…)
Who is a good person changes with life as many males do decide to snap their own like twigs after their own problems…If you see anything that bothers you, leave quietly and avoid the person.
Some churches are still okay but once you have one of their members hit you when you are down like screw up a car repair is common, you start to see who is who. Keep your mouth shut, do not respond to any insults (called grace by the way not to answer) and see what is to be. Working at denominational church with bully problem & pre-planned ‘initiation’ kind of, you may be called upon to graciously submit to anything this dominant might want such as inviting a ‘whatever’ into your own home without jabbing at the person or worse…Can not tell you exactly what might happen to you except if you have faith you will be okay as this is the submission/love/acceptance of the christ that passiveness will keep you okay, keep going to work, buy nothing if you are having a lot of belongings ruined, and be stingy with your money to protect yourself as unemployment is frequently denied if you get screwed, you may be accepted if the thugs think you are usable. Couples should NEVER discuss anything negative in public, need to have pre-planned way to handle anything wrong there like ignore it or not answer and just discuss it at home…Some do not say anything about whatever until it is really time to think about leaving things are so bad…Can be tough one if you have spouse who calls you crazy and denies this. May get tortured & really need to make some hard decisions about leaving to go to another place where friend/family live so you will be safe, do not talk about any of it back there.
(Everyone eventually gets sick, everyone dies so staying calm/happy-to-luck lifts the weight as ‘you will go to good place’ is the answer to worries mingling with the wrong thing sometimes if you care to accept it…If you can keep a clear head and understand who is screwed up and may try to guilt trip you about something that was no fault of your own, you can be okay through any crisis.)
Remember the Christ idea just took it and took the wrong, eventually some people turn around their ways…I don’t think it a good idea to explain something is wrong with another or challenge anyone any longer as it will only get you tortured.
Thank you for your post, it reminds me to take my meds.
If you ever read bible where God is merciful and kind one moment, vengeful and wrath-seeking the next is kind of the idea of submitting to church doing whatever, may the mafia payment tithe so you can work and toil there as required. Keeping up your health and going to work can really almost be second if you can across wrong church…
Some of us just prefer the meds, know the good people from old friends via facebook and SO happy to run into some normals in this screwed up place any longer.
Really miss working with normals but not good in my community any longer with so many hatemonger churches spreading it through town & even driving away some of the business/business people who would not submit. Is good timing to leave for a place where you have some family or friends to just keep your professional work/ability to support yourself, leave the wrong behind. Do not discuss the psych care and get pdoc care in next community, can be pretty okay if you can get all med care out of town & no one sees medicare or medicaid insurance where you are living.
