Good person/bad person
|
Going serious for a moment,
survivors guilt exists when a person knows they have done something grossly wrong by surviving a traumatic event when others didn't, so it is inherent to myself that I'm bad The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Even people who do horrible things are generally good people, who are mentally ill, trying to do what they think is right. I'd say it's very rare to find people who know what they're doing is bad and wrong and choose to do it anyway. I like that you always answer lol. A lot of people just get so technical...

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Yeah Losty's responses to friends threads are always top quality. @ Kernel You say some people think you're a great guy but some people consider you the bane of their existence... I can only imagine that those people are total assholes. EDIT: Losty's response to friends are also top quality but I meant to type "threads"

I think i am overall a good person. I think the average person is overall good, so I'm just average, but good nonetheless. It doesn't mean I never do anything wrong. Im sure there are things every single day that I could do better.

Bah! If pushed I'm definitely gonna vote yes. Okay I got the stick out of my butthole, CL. Consider me a voter in your poll
I will point out, however, that I am sure all the really bad people would vote "Yes" In fact I think a good person is more likely to think they're a bad person than a bad person is. Bad people are often very arrogant and self-righteous. Even when they know they're bad they at least try to tell everyone else that they're not so bad at all. But good people often feel guilty over even the smallest things... you see?

They were good for someone anyway...
