I believe I am a good person, I certainly try to be, but I will let God, family and friends be my judge. I do get angry, but for all the right reasons, toward war, murder, poverty, hatred and all the negative of this world. I get irritated sometimes but can quickly overcome that with the advice, help and support of others. Good points - honest, kind, friendly, compassionate, courteous and accepting of other faiths and cultures. I do try to stand up for myself but have often found people using and abusing my good nature, such is life.

I am not sure I am good or bad, I am good at doing some things and bad at doing some things. Does what you do make you a good or bad person? I have moods some good and some bad, does that make me a good or bad person. I guess I don't know how to answer this question.

I am not a good person. I mean I get mad, I resent people, I forget to help others, I get angry. I feel others had a better break then I did. I sometimes wish some people would go away, etc. The only one on earth that was good was Jesus Christ, and we as humans are all infected by that original sin that brought in the feelings of jealousy, murder, hatred, etc. So I am not a good person, and I doubt that I will be until I go to heaven and all the badness that I have in me will be left at the door.

I thought for a moment and ask myself the question you ask me, but couldn't find the answer for myself unless someone come up and evaluate whether I am a good person. . There is also a mistaken, but common belief that no one is good all the time. I say it's a mistaken belief because there are countless people who have different opinions of others and I am no difference.To say I am a good person is like carrying a basket full of goodies. It is important to remember that one person with good manners and good human relations skills can still make a difference. What's going on around is no reason to lower our standards of excellence in this important area. Yes, your post is a little uncomfortable and humbling, but it was a valuable wake-up call and a wonderful opportunity to become a better person.

Yes....even though I have to bit my tongue a bit I am....I like being a giver and sharing with others....I like being good to people...and helping out when I can...so I guess I do qualify as a good person!

Yes..i think i am a good person. I don't lie, cheat, or steal. I don't do those things because knowing i did harm to someone else would kill me. I would rather help others than help myself, and it bothers me that i am limited in what i can do to help someone else. I am loyal to those who have earned it, but do try to treat everyone equally.

We are good people but we are not saints, and i use that as an excuse when the rare occasion happens and i lose my temper.lol

I honestly do believe that I am a good person but I'm far from perfect. I have always been the type of person who sticks up for the underdog who get's treated unfairly. When I was a kid in school it use to bother me a lot when bullies would pick on the smaller & weaker kids, I would always get in bullies faces and defend the kids the bullies would pick on and it often ended up in a physical knock down drag out fist fight.. Injustice often ignites my courage to stand up to people who wrong others unfairly. We all need somebody sometimes to look out for us when needed.

that last part, sometimes we have to put our foot down is also common sense, when you do that, it does not stop you from being a good person, it has nothing to do with it, it is just sticking up for yourself and your rights which everyone should do.

Hi! Riya!
It is a difficult question to answer because my friends/near and dear ones can voice their opinion about me instead of me blowing my own trumphet. I know that I am not perfect and I have some positive and negative traits, as well. However, it is upto me how much positive attitude I show towards others. In other words do I allow my negative traits to override my positive traits? The answer is in negative. I always try to be positive with others, showing fair amount of compassion, sympathy and helping attitude. I try to be courteous, modest and remain loyal to my near and dear ones. I am an average normal human being, therefore, I also sometimes lose my patience and can get angry on somone or some situation. I sometimes get irritated by unexpected criticism which is directed towards me. All in all I can say with conviction that I always try to be 'good' to others, rest depends upon them, how do they view me or judge me.
Good Post!
