Are You a Good person or Bad person?

My son asked me tonight if I consider myself a good person or a bad person.. It made me think, not because I doubt that i'm a good person, more just because I thought I wonder how many people would get asked this..

I told my son that I would ask on answers to see how many people will respond honestly as to whether you truelly believe your a good person or a bad person.. So what do you believe, are you a good person or a bad person? I'm sure everybody's good!

    I..don't really know..It's very hard because there are many factors. I'm pretty fine w/ friends, i really love my parents and do my best for them, i always respect everyone, i don't litter, i will help people if my mood is good or neutral at least...

    But i like to talk and make jokes about some of my friends *nothing serious*, i play internet and PS2 when i shouldn't (becos my parents forbid me except on weekends or holidays), i don't pray regularly, i don't really take care of my belongings, i lie occasionally, i like to play from morning to midnight, et cetera

    Well, i do hope i'm a good person. But the community can judges better.

    It depends on the point of view you are asking from. I can only answer from a Christian point of view an say that I am a bad person. When I read the Bible and see what the commandments say about me, then I begin to see what Jesus meant when he told the one that called Him "good teacher" that ther is none good but the Father in Heaven. When I judge myself according to those laws, I see myself as a lying, thieving, murdering, covetous adulterer at heart. Now does that sound like a good person to you. It doesn't matter if I did those things today or 20 years ago, I still am guilty of breaking those laws. Thank God however, that I have one that died to take all that blame away. It doesn't make me a good person once I accept that forgiveness, but it does wipe all that filth away so I can have a relationship with God. Anyway, like I said, I do not know from what viewpoin you are asking this question, but ther is my answer.

    from experience ive had both a good childhood 1-12 then when i became a teenager my parents divorced and we struggled alot i would have to say it totally depends on how the person see things in his life going through both i strayed off into bad things drugs and what not but now im a stronger person i learned while struggling between right and wrong soooo i decided i wasnt going to be BAD i changed my habits and problems..there is some truth in what your saying but generally anything could happen bad people come from good and bad childhoods good people come from good and bad childhoods also it just depends which way the child decides to go. Just because i ended up there (bad tennage life) i knew i wasnt going to stay there.

    I think I'm a bad person to be honest. I feel sometimes like I am very manipulative and that I twist everybody to get what I want out of life and the fact that it works makes me even more sad. I'm trying to work on it and be a good person, but it's so difficult.

    i think i have become a good person, the changing point is when i had my daughter. i needed to give her someone to look up to. i used to not be such a good person, i would make people believe whatever i was saying and do whatever i told them to do. i regret a lot of it. i hurt a lot of people that i wish i hadn't. everyday i wish i could go back and take most of it back, but i cant so i guess i lived and learned.

    Wow! That's a good question! I prefer to think of myself as neutral good. I don't run in on a white charger unless i feel it's very appropriate!
