I AM a good person...

So I know many of you people think you are deep inside a "good person", but I want to challenge you on this. What is the definition, why would you say you are one, and what kind of famous killers & leaders have been quoted saying "I am a good person."

I look forward to your responses.

Who said I am a good person? 🙂

is there such a thing as a "good person?" or are we all just "people" who have good and bad moments?

I don't think I am but I have people telling me im "nice" all the time which I usually disagree with because I can be mean too.To alot of other people I am a good person but I know I have my issues so I don't claim to be one.I guess at the least as to what I can admit to on this is that people can depend on me to help them when I can,doesn't matter whether or not I know them to well.Im very generous when it's needed and when I can help basically.

I can recall MANY conversations, even drunk conversations where the person I am talking to is explaining how they're really a good person. This is such a turnoff to me. I prefer not only more humble attitude but MOSTLY a real & true one. People like to lean on the fact the grace is given to them too much, to the point of bloody excuse. Turnoff.

Fortunately, I hang out with bad people so I don't have that problem amongst my friends. Hehe.
No seriously, I have never had anyone say to me "why is this happening to me, I'm a good person....etc."
For myself, I can only hope people think I am one. I try to be one, whether I succeed or not is for them to decide. I have never asked anyone if they think I am good. It's never even occurred to me to ask.

haha ya I LOVE my badA $ $ friends! 🙂

"is there such a thing as a "good person?" or are we all just "people" who have good and bad moments?"

Gem lady, I lean on what you are saying, but I do think there are some good people, but they are more prophets or something. I am questioning the majority of people, and the ones who claim the "good person" label.

If you think that you are a good person, then you are. What others think? Well that is their problem. lol.

haha I found this quote, kinda matches with this thread perfectly...

Expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person is like expecting an angry bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.-- Shari R. Barr

A lot of people think they are the $ hit too, being a blunt taurus, I'll be the first to straighten them out. Ignorance is bliss, yes, but eventually everyone must know what the deal is.

"I'll be the first to straighten them out."

And how you gonna do that?

I think a good person is some who always has good intentions. Meaning, one doesn't use manipulations, emotions, or bad intentions to do harm to other or to get their ways.

Good people are always pure, genuine, sincere, and compassionate toward what they do and how they approach other.

Great quote, TG!

crystal clear to me!

You guys are so dam funny sometimes! Ya Sag, one of my best friends is a Sag and has really guided me a lot in life, so maybe that is what they are good at, who knows?

OFA, you totally get what my problem is!!! I hate the "I'm a good person" claim to fame. Totally words get no where with me!

Those people are trying to get something is what I've noted about throwing it everywhere.Ya know some people aien't to bright so they will actually take that as a trait and trust them.I think getting to know each other is actually talking in conversations not stating anything about yourself expect maybe the "what do you like to do's","what do you think about(fill in blank)?",etc. anyways.

There really are no problems unless we decide there is one! So, what is the REAL definition of good? Is there one? my good may be anothers bad...hmmm.

I saw this on another site:

"My question is; What do people get out of being the "Better person"? I know I am a good person. Why should I remain one? Do people find inner peace by knowing that they are better than their cheating partners? I am finding little solace in knowing that I am a good person.

Will I get old and look back thinking, "I'm glad I remained a good person"? When I am lying on my retirement home bed, staring at my ceiling fan, will it comfort me? Would I be happier remembering a score of sexual conquests with the breakups having no impact on me. So much pain around, do I really want any more of it myself?

What does it all matter in the end. In the grand scheme of things(assuming there is one). In the march of humanity into the ages, what do my actions really matter."

LOL gotta love this:

A guy is walking along the edge of the Grand Canyon and he falls off. He's hurtling down hundreds of feet to certain death and he looks up and grabs this twig, and it breaks his fall. He heaves a sigh of relief, and then, all of a sudden, he sees the roots coming loose. He looks up to the sky and says, "God, why me? I'm a good person. I've taken care of my family. I've paid all my taxes, I've worked all my life. Why me?" And this thunderous voice says, "Son, there's just something about you that I don't like.""

(powders horns) ...um I dunno what do u think OFA?

Hey! I got big brown cow eyes too!

"I have big green/brown cow eyes They turn colors!"

Once again an amazing aqua... (bows down)
