Are you a good person?
| i am a person
i try to be myself
| I am a good person. Yes.
| No
| I somewhere in the middle. Some peole say i good, some say that i modt evil person in the world. No, i don't try to be like that.
| I'd say I'm a good person. I seem to make people happy and a few people even claim that I saved their life, which makes me happy.
Do I try to be a good person? Well, I don't really know. I think I do? But it's not, like, when considering what to do in a situation I think "what would be the good person thing to do?". I just do what I feel like doing and it seems to work.
| Kinda, I need to be more evil.
| I would say it's relative. If someone's burning alive in a car, am I evil for letting them burn because I don't want burn scars myself? Some would say yes, but then you have some people who would (and did) literally take a video of the person burning, so in that sense I'm a better person.
Then there's mercy killing, if I were to kill the person who's burning alive, and I wish I could, I would go to prison for murder.
If I didn't kill them, knowing I could, am I evil or good?

I don't think its evil to not save a person from a burning car. Everyone looks after #1 first after all. That doesn't make you a bad person.
If you picked up a gun and shot a struggling man in a burning car on the other hand, yes, that's evil as fuck. You may claim mercy killing but that doesn't make it any better. *You* decided this guy needed to die and took matter into your own hands without his consent.
| No. But I try to do good things.
| I don't actively try to be, but I try not to be bad either.
I think it's a very sad existence, but it's what I can manage.
| I'm a bad person trying to be a good one.
Even though I try, it is inevitable not to do something bad from time to time.
| I'm the kind of person who doesn't like anything being called good or bad. I don't really try to be this way, I just change things when they get uncomfortable.
I feel like if I tried to be a good person, I'd need to ask what good meant. But in my experience it means something very different for every person, so I decided I didn't want to put any effort into that idea.
| Being a good or bad person is really relative at time. I don't find any solace in the idea of being a 'good' person by others standards. Not that I don't care how others feel. I try not to be a bad person for sure, I feel guilt for things that might hurt others.
I start to wonder how much of what I do is me being a 'good' person and how much of it is just a built in response trying to keep myself safe by caring for others so they don't wish ill on me in return.
| Good but not the best(and never will).
| No

| Do you consider yourself a good person?
Regardless of your answer, do you try very hard to be what you are?
