What makes YOU a good person?

Or are you a bad person?

I'm 40 percent good and 60 percent evil. As far as being good, I think I am pretty nice. Most of my badness comes from thought crimes, crimes of the mind.

I get upset at the idea of animal cruelty and DLC.

@uninspiredcup: Animal cruelty sucks.

Just being myself.

@davillain-:

I did not expect that answer from you.

I would never harm an animal if it didn't serve a purpose. Like food (or a good movie that would be less convincing with very expensive CG and will live on versus food that lasts you through a few days). But at the same time I find the love people have for animals weird. Those people who proudly value animal life more than human life are fucking weirdos. They're BAD people.

Cats and dogs are arguably parasitic in nature.

It's no coincidence when a car meows it sounds like a pitched child crying. Nor more domesticated dogs like Labradors having soft facial features akin to a teddy bear.

They have adapted to exploit humans through companionship where we are compelled to care for them.

The more simplistic nature of the companionship makes it very obvious why animals can be more appealing than humans.

Having said that, enjoying watching animals get hurt for entertainment purposes is very clearly despicable, not sure if you're very poorly attempting to troll or genuinely believe that, either way, save that shit for someone else.

Who says I am?

Humans are shit. You're shit. I'm shit. Everyone's shit. And if you say you're not, then you are double shit with piss on top.

That said, I suppose recognition of one's own inherent shittiness is the first step towards self-improvement, or at least damage limitation.

@madrocketeer: Don't know about the rest of Humanity on this planet but, you're okay in my books👍

Why not? I'm just a simple man who loves playing video games.

@davillain-: Because of your name/handle, silly.

@DEVILinIRON: I'm a lousy villain lol.

I guess I'm an ok person. Not the most liked person in the world, but I am liked by others. I don't have a devilish personality and yet I'm not an Angel.

I'm a cat so I'm automatically a good person.

On a more real note. Me being myself and showing that I care about people/friends.
Though too much of a good thing can be bad and bad has certainly happened more than I liked.

I haven't murdered anybody I keep to myself mostly I try to avoid drama as much as I can. I'm nice to people as long as they are good people and not some assholes that hurt people or animals I try to be honest as much as I can I hate liars. I also hate to see good people suffering life can be hell I think generally good people deserve happiness.

I’m the hardest working person at every job I’ve had. Put more effort and initiative/hustle into even the simplest task I have to do to get any job done even when I’m sick or have injuries.

I could use some improvement in the "social butterfly" department but I think I am an OK person.

• I am generous and enjoy sharing.
• I care about the happiness of others; if the people around me are not happy, then I'm not happy (assholes don't feel that sort of empathy).
• I love animals and consider it a huge crime to be cruel to them. I'm against the death penalty but if you tortured an animal, well, I Might make an exception for you.
• I've been punched before and just sort of looked at the person and told them to apologize (I'm 6'3" and fill up a doorway, so it's not like fighting back is really worth it to me) and they did. I asked them what was wrong and he proceeded to tell me about his problems...it was actually kind of a nice moment. I know some people would probably think that not fighting back makes me a wuss, but I don't think so.
• Big believer in the golden rule. Help where you can, do no harm, treat others how you would want to be treated, and if what others do does not harm anything, then you can't really object to it.

This was nice. I don't really talk about myself that much, always nice to remind oneself of the good qualities.

It's funny you mention that because, in my experience, the slackers and whiners at work tend to not be good people as well. Due to their poor work ethic they generally have to resort to other things in order to get by, such as shit-talking, backstabbing, kissing ass, and so on.

OMG! Me too!

Keeping in mind that I think good and bad are subjective, I don't get angry at people for getting mad at me. On the flip side, they can take that as me not caring. I actually care a lot, but I think that we can't always work things out immediately and it can take some time to come to a reasonable understanding of how each party has to make reasonable changes to avoid the conflict if one or both sides consider it unbearable.

Bold of you to assume I'm a good person

@turtlethetaffer: My apologies.

This is you?

It isn't murder until someone find the dead body😉

@uninspiredcup: Hold on a second. You think cats meow to imitate babies and dogs are imitating teddy bears? So that’s why we care for them?

https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/dogs-are-manipulable-cats-are-manipulative-and-both-act-like-babies

Wait! Yes. I do. This isn't really me "thinking" but just repeating something that's been studied. Common in nature and a common trope fictional design to garner a specific response from an audience.

It's one of the reasons something like District 9 is a lot better than Avatar. The aliens aren't presented as large eye'd cat people living in World of Warcraft but ugly as shit dysfunctional cockroaches living in a shit hole where the viewer learns through character than rather straight up visual manipulation to care for them.

Agree with the District 9 thing, but I don't think "parasitic" is the right word for the human-pet relationship. I'd call it more symbiotic than parasitic.

Humans feed and care for pets, and in return pets provide comfort and service.

Dogs alone have a long and storied relationship with humans; seeing dogs for the blind, dogs for diabetics, bomb-sniffing dogs, hunting dogs, bomb-sniffing dogs, truffle-sniffing dogs, and so on.

Cats are a bit tougher to justify (though don't get me wrong, I am definitely a cat person), but in general it's been shown that pets help lower blood pressure and can improve mood, decrease the feeling of isolation or loneliness, and so on.

To say they are parasitic implies they use us (the host) and we get nothing out of it.

True enough, dogs do legitimately give back. Hunting. The Blind etc...

Cats are just useless.

Cats? Catzzz, you say? What about pest control? Mice and such.

Evil people hate me, so I must be doing something right 🤷

I’d say that my empathy for others is what makes me a good person.

@uninspiredcup: You do realise dogs came before teddy bears? Cats meowed before domestication?

And you do realise the paper does not reference being peer reviewed.

I consider myself quite empathic so I can be a good listener and a good friend when in need.

I'd like to think of myself as a pretty down to earth & open-minded person.

What I say is bad but what I do is good. But everyday I feel like I'm just too good of a person and I shouldn't care about others.

Yeah I wish I could be less self-conscious, care less about the opinions of others. Not even their actual opinions, just what I think they think of me.

i donated peripheral blood stem cells to a total stranger leukemia patient.

this entailed multiple blood tests, injections to increase the cell count in my blood ( some bone pain resulting ) and traveling to nyc for them to harvest the cells from my blood.

it was anonymous so i do not know how the patient fared.

if you're looking to be a good person like me, you can register as a potential donor at: https://bethematch.org/

@comp_atkins: That was Good. Nice one.

@uninspiredcup: Agreed.

I always love helping people in my neighborhood and I'm a very family-oriented person.

T-This totally wasn't me I swear. *slowly backs away out of the room*

I’m not a good person.

The believe that Satan will one day return and reward the faithful such as me.

I can be kind, caring, and helpful to some people, only if I like them though bc I'm picky about who I like teehhehe :p

I think I genuinely give people the benefit of the doubt. I gain nothing from lying or cheating or hurting others, because the things you can gain from that don't matter to me. Being honest and open-minded makes life simpler and easier in the long run. I would consider these qualities to be good.

I know that I could have been or will someday be driven to doing bad things seemingly out of necessity, which I think applies to most people who we consider to be bad.

I am always good to animals and never good to people and that is what make me a good person

Basically similar to anyone else I've ever met with the only difference being that I'm not a hypocrite about it. If I preach it, I practice it but I don't tolerate other people's BS, so such people can think whatever they want of me.

well if you want my idea I'm a good person because i try to not get attached to many things in life-[url=https://www.quizexpo.com/attachment-style-quiz/[/url] - which in turn makes losing something much easier and bearable but for the others perspective I honestly don't know ! you have to ask others to see if you are a good person

Trying to make it through the day hour by hour without dragging everybody else into my problems/health issues.
