| my scumbag brain is evil at least and i try to be the lesser evil because of that as for forgiveness especially self-forgiveness "ive been dragging around whats keeping me down if i just let go i will be set free" |
| A good person is a person who sticks to their values and treats people with reason. Additionally they behave in the right way, meaning they are respectful and commit actions that are conducive to social harmony / protect human or nonhuman lives (if it ever escalates to that). That's all whether or not you believe in certain religious dogmas I don't believe that religion matters in this question personally. Most religious dogmas are based on social rules relatively consistent between cultures anyway so exclusively focusing on religion isn't right.political and social views I don't think that political views have anything to do with it. Heck, most of my friends are the complete political opposite to me but I consider them good people. Socially, yeah I think that a person who behaves in a way that isn't disrespectful to people is good.what you wish on people in your head That is very difficult to determine since we can't read minds. I think as long as a person says the right things and does the right things, they are good people. Until they begin to contradict that "track record," they're fine regardless of what they think. We aren't the thought police after all.mental health issues This is difficult as well since mental illness separates intent from actions. Generally I think people should be forgiving on those with mental illnesses to a reasonable extent, I would be hesitant to forgive someone of a massive transgression no matter the context.do you believe in forgiveness in general? Yes I do to a reasonable extent. Holding grudges is not productive.I do think I'm a good person, but like every human there are times when that state of being "good" wavers and you fuck up some times |

it's over | we're so back | don't take this too seriously |
| I think the best indicator is acting with consideration of other peoples needs, however not really necessarily requiring you to go out of your way. Most people are "good" enough if they have respect and courtesy for others in my opinion. I also think that a lot of people just act good for show, and would be bad when no one is looking. Crow_Black said: this is good i think :Di always treat everyone as the way i want to be treated |
| persons who change the sidewalk because they think you are going to rob them are not good persons. |
| Not breaking the law doesn't make you a good person. Morals is also a part. If you see some retard across the street a good person wouldn't laugh. If you see someone in need, a good person would help. If you see someone struggling, a good person would try to help if they could/not laugh at them. Etc I think it is obvious what a good person is. I sadly am not one of them. I play LOL and I wish I could be like the people who are on my team where we get ass raped 30-4 and they stay calm and collected while I cannot help but tell my team to kill themselves while I afk. |

chloeco3 said: To me a good person is someone who accepts everyone even if it goes against their own personal beliefs and will not bring harm to people. For example: Good guy: Believes that being gay goes against their morals, but will still support equal rights and accept gay people as valid. Bad guy: Believes that being gay goes against their morals which makes them express their hatred against gay people for existing. I try to love and respect everyone regardless of my own personal morals, except Nazis, I'll proudly show my hatred for them. exactly, ill never understand why people are against gays. i just let them be, they can do whatever they want as long as it doesnt affect me |
| I'm not one to ask for forgiveness so I try not to irritate anyone in general (exceptions, people that I hate) |

| You need to be a law abiding citizen and please people in society, at the end of the day it's society that will put labels on you - good ones if they like you, bad if they don't. Mental health isn't a big thing where I live - you are either "normal" or "mad" (basically mentally retarded to the point of not understanding anything and it's alright to beat up such people because they won't understand you anyways). As for me, I'm a bad person. |
 |
| Basically anyone who's not an incorrigible dick or a cunt, or worse, an incontinent asshole. |
 |
| i mean yeah sure, but its not up for me to decide whether my actions are valid to be considered as good if i'm doing it intentionally or not. though coming from a religious background, i guess i picked up some examples that limits myself to certain things that causes something negative shit related. |

| For me, it boils down to how you treat other people. Treating others with decency and kindness. Having empathy, sympathy, understanding of others, and treating others well. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. That's the gist of it. Do I think I'm a good person? Hm, I do my best to be an ethical person and make sure my actions are aligned with my values. I see this kind of thing to be more of a process than a fixed state of being. I'm not perfect so I make mistakes, have my flaws and fair share of mess ups I'll have to live with for the rest of my life. I usually try to make stuff right if I can though |
| All you have to do to be a good person is not be a jerk to everyone around you This is also the reason I fail at being a good person. |
 |
| as others have said, treating people well, even if you are malicious in the long run, gives off the impression you're a good person. i generally treat people with indifference unless I personally know them so i'm in the neutral area. |
| hmm. |
| Good is being caring, kind, selfless acts, not intentionally hurting others, and being considerate to not disregard everything others want for themselves among a bunch of other traits. Am I? I hope so. |
| Most people do good to receive love, appreciation, fame, acceptance, etc. but a genuinely good person is someone who's good for the sake of it, not for what they get in return. They will treat the janitor the same as the CEO. Acts in public the same way in private. Helps someone without needing to tell anyone about it. As for forgiveness - it's a must, as grudges are just an unnecessary burden to carry. I believe letting go of not only grudges, but also other emotional baggage's are what makes a healthy mindset. |

| anyone who does single file to me is a saint. on tight footpaths I can't understand why you wouldn't do single file unless you are a scumbag. |
| Just don't be a dick and it's all good. |
 |
| i don't try to be a "good" person just a kind one. |

And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
