Good person/bad person

[drfuzzy]

Yeah, it's irrelevant.  As one of my Psychology professors reminded us, "The worst criminal on the planet does not see a monster when they look in the mirror."

[Homeless Nutter]

Why:

I prefer everything over God. I mean it. It is like God is the least important witness, that I don't care how he sees me, but care so much about how people who are too ignorant to judge me think of me.

I am a polytheist through and though, which is an injustice that cannot be forgiven.

I must free myself from other than him.

And of my evils, is how I am God's friend in the outward but his enemy in the inward.[...]

---

And of my evils, is how I talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

And of my evils, is how I see the oppressed but my heart hardly moves.

And of my evils, is how I belittle humans who are more honorable than I am and honor humans that are eviler than I am.

And of my evils, is how I have little resolve to save my soul and have little compassion for myself in that regard.

And of my evils, is how I hardly move to please and see God's beauty, though he is more beautiful and more worthy of being pleased than anything.

And of my evils, is how I turn away from the help of the Guide of time, every time I am helped.

And of my evils, is how I change favors to that of destructive condemnation.

And of my evils, is how I don't implement my wisdom.

And my evils, is having listen to a dark sinister sword that lead me to insanity and despair after that, and how no one despairs of God's spirit but a disbelieving people.

And of my evils is how much evils I have, but am still ignorant to.

And of my evils, is how little I truly regret in my heart my evil path.

And don't forget to add, that you're a dreadful bore, to boot. Or did you mention that? I drifted off after -like- three lines... 

Also - while I'm picking on you - who did your hair for your avatar picture? Your little sister? Were you supposed to be a princess, or som'n'?

I don't yet, but I aspire to be one.  I'm a work in progress.

I think you are. Why don't you think so?

I think I'm becoming one. It's all TL;DR really, but I have not always been going the right direction. Some of it may be attributable to mental illness, but not all. I did a lot of introspection and I didn't like what I saw.

I'm moving in the right direction now, I think. I don't want to think of myself as a "good person" until I'm closer to where I think that mark actually lies. I don't think of myself as a bad person - most of the time - just not quite there yet.

By your own standards, do you consider yourself to be overall a good person?

Why or why not?

I consider myself a good person. But then Hitler thought what he was doing was hard but needed and by his own standards was a good person. So I think all anyone can really do is use the old, do as you would be done by, trope.
This doesn't work if you are a masochist.

That's very respectable.

I think I too am becoming a good person. It's hard because it's opposite of what my family and friends think. They say I've changed; I'm too liberal now, too opinionated, too self righteous, too condemning...

The way I look at it though is I've learned to let go of the bad parts of me. I don't accept racism anymore nor tolerate hearing it from others (I've changed). I stand up for gays/other races and against Trump/his followers (too liberal/opinionated). I don't let the religious walk all over me and I call out the bad stuff they believe in instead of sitting quietly trying to 'let others have their religion' (too self righteous/condemning)

Hell I used to judge people for their skin color, I cheated on my husband, and I was close minded but somehow NOW I'm the bad guy...

By what metric?

Am I better than most of the people on this miserable planet we call earth? Sure. We have a lot of miserable people on this planet who suck donkey balls. I'd say I'm above average in terms of not being a miserable prick.

Am i a truly good person? Not really. I'd say my youngest daughter is. Though a lot of Christians would disagree because she's a lesbian. But I'm not. I hate pretty much everybody except for a few people. They mostly deserve my hatred because they really fucking suck. I'm jaded as fuck because I've seen how much people on this planet suck. So no, I wouldn't say I'm a good person by that metric.

Wow, what a bully. Picking on people's appearance when they are vulnerable enough and open enough to share a real picture of themselves. Let's see yours.

Only a truly reprehensible person would be so slow to grab the good-person mantle!
