There is no way and no reason to define good and bad. You can only feel what is good and what is bad.
And I do believe that nobody is bad. Their actions may be bad, but only because of their ignorance.
And those who are very ignorant -and who we call bad- are actually a minority, as well as saints are a minority. But one bad action spoils a hundred good ones, so in the end, we all despair facing all the evil that has been done.
Look, for example, WWII. Hitler was persuaded that he was a #ing hero, saving the day. All the nazis were either sure of being heroes or good citizens serving their country. Yet see the cataclysm it has caused. But think also of all the "true heroes", those who gave their lives resisting, those who fought an overheilming ennemy...

When it comes to good or bad the first question is if the universe is good or bad?
I believe this is the one thing that can never can be taking from us, its what gives life its free will and separates each individual.

Even basic life has choice which to me seemed to be that it was worth passing on its gift of choice, this to me was a good choice and I think on some level that basic life understood this.

We have much more complicated choices to make and also have to judge others ourselves. Even in judgment of others though we see we have a choice between if we think its good or bad.

I feel this choice has huge significance that people shouldn't overlook. We have been taught what are good choices and we see that it is so as good is clear to us: Such as meaninglessly killing or passing on the choice or moderation. But we also see that those teaching us are making bad choices which makes us doubt the significance of good choices.

Those bad choices should be rooted out and changed, they may have been made with good intentions which we can not judge but if we judge that something is now bad we should fix it.

I feel this is where we are with society and religion. They may have made choices for their understanding of good which worked short term but are bad for the long term. Religions try to influence our choice by suggesting punishments from God where as the reality is they can only make their own judgments. We can not know what a God would do if we are choosing bad. We can only teach people that your choice can be good or bad and set our own punishments. Society as in governments tell us that we need controlled but continue to make bad choices on our behalf. We need to decide if this is how we want our choices made and if so make sure those making the choices are looking for good choices and find out why they believe it to be a good choice so we can make proper judgments.

We could as easily choose predominantly bad but the consequences of that are deeply rooted in us so I do not fear that. I fear more that although we are on a good path we are ignoring much better ones available.

Its like our personnel choices, we know what it takes excel but we choose the easier option which we know is either not the greater good or even bad. Again our choice and we will face the consequences if any but we are learning and maybe one day others will learn from them turning a bad choice good over time. The consequence of bad choices out with others judgments say by God or by this universe is what maintains that good prevails I judge.

So look to make good choices. Look to judge others choices based on good. Set punishments to ensure people understand their is a consequence to bad as we see it and pass on what we have found out so others don't need to make the same mistakes. Understand though that your choices maybe judged another way with other consequences.

Stopping others bad decisions such as government, religion or more powerful is not hard and your choice is to succumb for yourself or fight for others. The good choice is obvious no?

Tormentations
Can you define what a good person is? Can you also define what a bad person is? Is mankind as a whole good or bad in your opinion? And why come to your answer? Does a person choose when to be either good or bad, or is it already in stone by their personality to be one of the two only for life?


Please give us a harder question next time.
One third are good, one third are in the center, and one third are "EVIL"!
And the numbers are not fixed, but are ever changeing.
Bad is not evil...EVIL is EVIL!
