Am i wrong for always tring to find the good in people no matter what they do and say? i find my self always tring to the good in people no matter how many times a person has done me wrong. Is that so wrong? I was brought up to beleive everyone has good in them no matter what u just have to take the time to find the good, but sometimes that doesnt work.

i guess there's nothing wrong in believing that there is something good in every body no matter what has been said or done because i believe the same. i have more peace of mind since i dont doubt people a lot. its better for me not to know of the wrong they are saying or doing against me, at least i wouldnt feel hurt and sad. the higher being has his way of giving these people their lesson. i wouldnt want to attract negative vibes so i try to be positive most of the time.

What an insight! Not feeling bad and hurt because not knowing what other people say about you is the wise thing to do...People always get depressed by what they think people said about them, but for me it is useless to do so...We cannot satisfy everyone, and for that there is no way that you can stop someone from saying something, either bad or good, about you...Being positive is always better, but give some room for yourself to feel the other way around...

I agree with you i hate feeling hurt and i would rather not know the wrong that a person is saying or doing against me, but sometimes you cant help but to find out. So I try to stay positive no matter what, but sometimes it is so hard to even when i know the higher being has his way of giving these people their lesson.

Hi. Mitaeshai. Welcome to myLot! I try to look for the good in people as well too. To be honest with you, I usually am doing this. I have been done wrong by many people, and I still try to find the good in them too. Although, I may stay my distance from these people, I try to always consider them to have some kind of good in them. Not everyone is bad. If I go around thinking that there is bad in everyone, then what will people think of me?

I think you got the point there for doing so...I have always believed that every people, no matter how bad they are, have their good side...Thus, I think you did the right thing...Nevertheless, sometimes it does not work either for me...The right thing to do is that you keep that attitude and believe me, one day you will find that you have done the decent thing of all...
