Do you consider yourself to be…

[Erica Mena]

A good person?

[Biggie Smiles]

I am a very good person

[Anonymous]

Yes.

[Dove]

No I don't.



 And I'm not saying I think I'm an evil piece of shit or anything, I just wouldn't call myself a "good person".  



 I guess I should ask what standards are we using? I believe in and hold to objective standards of good. So when I put myself up to those objective standards...I cannot say that I'm a good person.

[Erica Mena]

Good hearted.

Good hearted.

My heart is in the right place.  It's seen as a weakness but not holding grudges or wishing people ill is very freeing and leaves more space for good shit.



I think you try.

I really do.

[Frood]

I try and sometimes succeed but then question the motivation behind it.... is it altruistic or a form of identity affirming narcissism?



Good can be done for the wrong reasons and vice versa.... so, dunno. A lifetime is like the dialogue and actions of a movie script, but the final product is not ours to view and judge.



Ying and yang mutterfockers!

 Yeah I examine my motives a lot as well. I'm an emotionally damaged person so I still routinely take my own internal inventory. It goes along with recovery.



 This is why when I do something for other people, I don't talk about it because I do not want to get praised. I like to keep my ego in check. If I'm getting any sort of reward it becomes something I've done for myself....if that makes sense.

Totally! You get what I was trying to say.



I ask myself if it is a Robin Hood mentality, an empathetic response to a situation seen unfolding or fear even... for me and my own, or just the general community feelz... or worse yet, I'm only trying to do good because it makes me feel better about my own life and it has nothing to do with the people or causes I'm helping...

A good person?

It depends on how one defines "good."



No one is good except God alone..



I consider myself reasonable, fair, and empathetic.

[Anonymous]

I am ethical in my professional and personal life.
