Personally I think it depend on what a person would define as good or bad. I tend to think for the most part people are good. They just many times always need to be reminded of who they are and where the came from and maybe their outlook zone life can change as well. People usually act as they are treated. But we also need to remember no matter where we are.. what is good to you may not be good for you. But if a person would really try less people would feel the need to be bad as well.

Hi KrauseHome, Thank you for commenting and it does depend on how we define good and bad which really means that there is no good and no bad. Blessings.

That is hard, especially, its not right to judge other people. But for self check, we can ask our conscience.

There are different shades of good and different shades of bad, it's like a scale, at one end is very good and the other is plain evil, but can people be plain evil? Yes, you only have to see what happens in the papers, in the media, and how society has totally degenerated. Of course there is the gray areas too. I have borderline personality disorder so for me it is virtually impossible to see gray and part of my syptom is not being able to see the gray area, people are either angels or demons, good or bad and that to me is the way I see it.

That is a good question because regardless of what someone does even if it's a mistake and considered bad....there usually is a bit of good in them. I knew someone who was always getting in trouble...kind of like being in the wrong place at the wrong time....but he had the best heart..and if anyone needed something he would be the first one to step up to the plate....maybe just different would fit here.....and I am sure that there is alittle bad in all of us too...we just don't let it show.

The bible states that people were created in the likeness and image of God. Canadians proudly proclaim that both sexes were created equal. Therefore its difficult to say that people are not created good. I would go as far as to say that people are good, bad, and indifferent, depending on who is telling the story, and how much the story-teller has had to drink!

Hi barehugs, Thank you for that response. I don't think that it's just Canadians who think that both sexes were created equal. Most people in the western world at least,know that today.I understand that there are some cultures that still don't accept it. Of course it took until the twentieth century for it to be accepted in our society. I like the gospel of Shakespeare; "there's nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so". Blessings.

Even these two words are open to interpertation. What is good and what is bad. I don't think you will find anyone who is truly good or bad. It all depends on the point of view of the observer.

Hi Pose, we can never think of people as simply good or bad. We know that everyone, ourselves included, has good and bad points. Even a very good person can have moments of bad intentions and bad deeds. Sometimes we even wish someone will suffer an injury or misfortune. It is bad of us to think in this way. But we are not always thinking bad thoughts or doing bad things. Most of the times we think good of people, and wish them the best.

I have always believed that there is nothing good or nothing bad as such. It all depends on what end of it you are... if you are at the recieving end, and disagree, you would consider it as a bad thing otherwise you wouldnt bother.

It differs into your own conscience to do right and wrong.

hi pose judge people is good or bad it,s not that simple.cause if we dont know her/him,or we just see the people from the look (outside)we dont know if that good or bad. if we know each other maybe we know that people good or bad for us.but if we have a good connection from someone we must accept if he/she have a good and bad moment. cause there are no perfect in this world.

Just a matter of perception, being labeled as good or bad is meaningless. You may deem one as good while others perceive them as bad or even the other way around, so perception is only the true difference from these label of an individual.There are no good people and bad people separately.There is good and bad in every one,only the ratio changes.
