This is a question I have struggled with for quite some time now. How does one truly measure the quality of ones character? How can I know if I am truly a good person, or if I am an evil person? I just can't decide. Although my inner bring tells me that I am over analyzing this, I cannot help but wonder if I really am a good person. I do not intend on causing harm to those around me and I certainly do not ever want to harm them. The people I love are all I have in this world. I love, I care, I help others and I try not to hate people. To me, hate corrupts a person. I mean, sure, hating isn't evil but some hate can lead to evil, the opposite of what we deem 'good'. I am not free of hate, no; there are some people who I cannot forgive for the crimes that they have exacted against me. But does that make me a bad person? No, I don't believe it does. So what does make me a bad person, exactly? Lying, corruption, greed and harming the physical flesh of others, let alone their spiritual or mental 'flesh'. To my knowledge, I have not done any of those things apart from lying and that I am sorry for. What else makes me a bad person? Ignorance? Prejudice? Many, many things. But, I am deviating from the point of this thread. So, am I a good person? I suppose so. Although I am plagued by doubt when I write this, I see no evidence that says I am not a good person. Maybe it is easier to say I am neither good not evil, maybe it is simpler to say, with the risk of sounding like a cheesy Hannah Montana or Demi Lovato song, that I am simply me.
