    Good is such a relative term.

    Define it.

    Yes, I am a goody 2 shoes!

    I try to follow the golden rule, by treating others as I would want them to treat me in similar circumstances. (In essence of itself, that is good)

    absolutely - Good is 'truth'
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    I try my best to be good. Of course my "good" might not be your "good" but on balance I'd say I'm pretty good at being good.

    I don't want to be bad because I have a conscience, I'm not a sociopath or suffering from a narcissism problem so not caring about my actions and their effect on others isn't open to me.

    I've been told I was good, but with practice I could be better. Does that make me bad?

    Some people say I'm a good person, but I know better! My 'goodness' is there from birth, my badness was from years of hard practice.

    Thank you DMP.

    dont blow a gasket it was just a joke.




    Yes I want to be good and being good is seeking a path in life of lesser harm to yourself adn those arround you.

    I actually find it easier to be good than being not good.

    When you lie to manipulate people to do no good you have to work very hard at it to keep straight what you said to who.

    Being not so good always involves lies.

    Truth just feels so much better than lies.

    I have was born finding truth much easier than lies.

    I didnt have a particularly easy childhood and kept my self soothed by what the Truth really was.

    The truth has always been my best friend.

    The truth will set you free my friends.

    Hating takes far too much energy, cupcake.. For me to exhibit *that* much energy, you'd have to be worth it..

    You're not.

    If you've defined "truth" then you're going to have a bunch of philosophy professors banging on your door any minute now

    Then why even bother to go use the little red squares?

    You must have seen yourself in my post?

    You seem to be very like some of the people I talked about who have to remember what they said to whom.

    I never see you really discuss anything you just seem to hang arround and flirt and then give little red squares to those your flirtees dont like.

    Its a sad state of affairs but its the world you seem to inhabit and on the internet no less.
