What I DO want is to hear your best analogy for what it means to be a good person.

I was think about it today, good/bad and our interactions as human beings. This is what crossed my mind:

We are like a bull in the china shop of everyone else's emotions. There is the delicate balance between self-restraint and acting to your own instincts. And the only way to really avoid breaking something (not hurting another or yourself) is to completely leave the shop, which would be akin to emotional seclusion.

I don't get it. Don't you already know what a good person is???

If BAD is treating people like shit than GOOD =
If BAD is forcing your religion onto other people's daily lives than GOOD =
If BAD is cheating people out of their money than GOOD =
If BAD is miscellaneous action with a negative outcome than GOOD =

You get where I'm coming from???? Good is not any one thing, nor is it necessarily quantifiable. But one things for sure, you'll know it when you see it.
