What is so bad about bad people? Is it them being bad

If a person is bad it is because we are not comfortable with what they say or do. If they murder people, hurt people or steal from them, then we all tend to agree they are evil. But sometimes bad can mean that they just say things others disagree with and they just have an opinion. This doesn't make them bad in themselves. It is in the eye of the beholder and nowhere else. Personally, I try not to judge, as these sort of people are not in this world to live up to my expectations, and if I am judging them as bad, it is only myself that I make uncomfortable. - Derek

No, I don;t think it is their being bad or even their refusing to change from being bad to good. i think what is bad mostly about bad people is the fact that they don't at all realize or accept that they are bad. It is such an attitude which is scary because if someone who is bad thinks and believes that he is not bad but is good, then there is no hope for that person to ever change since in the first place he thinks he is good.

Actually, I think the bad about people would be the standards that people and society dictate. What is subjectively good might be bad for the majority. Though in keeping in line with the possible standards of society. I think changing something that has been the ways of a truly bad person to something good would be synonymous to changing who they are. Of course this line of thought might only be true to some people. In some cases, its the act which is bad and not really the person. There's still hope for change in this kind of situation. Whether the person may be 'good' or 'bad', I think it is their willingness to change that might make a difference. That's just my opinion though.

When we say bad people they are doing something what good people don't normally do. The act itself is consider bad and so the does automatically called a bad person. There's a lot of reason why bad people do some bad things in life. We really have to look closer into their family history and so on.

There is no such thing as bad people there are people who choose to do bad things but it doesnt make them bad people have within them both good and bad they can choose to nurture either one most people choose to nurture the good to further explain, lets say I were to choose to bark like a dog would that make me a dog because i bark like one? NO!

I agree with derek's response

We judge them as bad depending on thier nature of action which made them get categorised as bad as well as the action of them refusing to change from bad to good. Sometimes the nature of the one terrible act they commit is enough to condemn them as bad forever. There is no second chances in these instances.

I believe all people has the potential to be good or bad. Some choose to be good, others choose to be bad. Those who choose to be bad does it for selfish reasons. They just want to satisfy themselves and do not care what they do to others in the process. Those who choose to be good, care about others and are aware of their actions so they do not hurt others, they are unselfish. In some cases it is easier to do bad than good but we make the choice to do the good because the outcome will be better for us and those around us. People who choose to do the bad things do not care about the outcome for others, as long as they are satisfied. May you be blessed with only good people around you.

I noticed that bad people never accept responsability for their actions ,and is always somebody else's fault. This is probably why they never think that they need to change their wrong doings.

Probably the second one. Anyone can make a mistake or have a day when angry and do something regretable later. But someone who keeps doing bad things and won't change, that isn't the occasional mistake, that's intentional and their mind goes in that direction. Eventually it can escalate if the person refuses to change. Take care.

Change can take effort. That can be hard. So some people decide not to try.

Sadly nowadays the bad things and the bad people (or the people who do the bad things) become heroes They get more space on the news and get more articles in the newspaper and online. Therefore there is some myth that being bad or doing bad is actually good because that's what other people seem to be interested in It is so difficult to make a person believe that whatever they are doing is wrong when those doing exactly the same thing are the ones that seem to be getting more followers, getting talked about the most and having more success so it is not even the fault of those who are bad or are doing bad but the fault of others who portray doing bad as being the best thing to do

I think some people (sociopaths) have their brains wired in such a way that they can't help but be bad. But for most people it's a choice and maybe also a bad habit that they've gotten themselves into and don't know how to get themselves out.

I do agree with Derek; it is very much subjective because everyone’s perceptions of what is good and bad is varied and some have been labelled bad just for voicing an opposing opinion. None of us a perfect we have all behaved in ways that can be deemed bad by some and not so by others. This is of course excluding extreme actions like murder, rape etc… I think that everyone is capable of change but I would not underestimate how difficult it is to do so. People can be bad because they make the choice to be or their behaviour may be due to psychological or psychiatric issues. Life is not a black and white affair and there are individuals out there who do not even recognise their bad behaviour to be negative; I read somewhere that a psychiatrist commented that the latter are the hardest to help because they blame everyone but themselves for their wrongdoings.

I think it is mainly that they have chosen to be bad. alot of them will never change either because they like who and what they are. they could care less if they were ever good in most cases.

Hi bala! I think the bad thing about bad people is both. It just makes them worse to not want to change.
