A good deed is any action that benefits someone (other than yourself) or a cause.

I do good deeds as the opportunity comes along.

It makes you feel good about yourself, strengthens your relationships with other people and reminds you of the important things in life.

A good deed is something that helps more people than it puts out. It can help yourself to be a good deed, I don't know where everyone got the idea that everything good is completely selfless.

2)Do you actively try to do good deeds? Or do you do good deeds as the opportunity comes along? Or do you just mind your own business and move on in life?
I don't go out of my way to look for good to do, but I'll always want to do the right thing when I'm presented with a situation, I'm pretty serious about that.

3)Why do a good deed?
Honestly, for the boost of self confidence that no matter what happens, I know that I'm a good person.

4)What was the last good deed you did?
I would say I sent a PM to cheer someone up that I spent quite a bit of time on, that's the last good thing I did.

Anything you do for others that gives off a positive vibe or influence.

2)Do you actively try to do good deeds? Or do you do good deeds as the opportunity comes along? Or do you just mind your own business and move on in life?
When the opportunity comes along. If I try to do them, it looks forced and kills its worth.

3)Why do a good deed?
One, it helps the person you're helping. Kind of obvious, but it also boosts their morale for the day or something, as well as your own, giving yourself confidence.

4)What was the last good deed you did?
I think it was... helping out a friend as he vented to me. Or something like that.

5)Say anything worth saying related to good deeds.
What goes around comes around?

To me, a good deed is whatever society deems above morally appropriate. Though i suppose that would make a lot of what we consider bad deeds today good deeds back in the day. Like Aztec sacrificing for example. Good deed to sacrifice people then, bad deed to sacrifice people now.

Urban Dictionary defines good deed as:

An act from which you get no benefit that costs you. No good deed goes unpunished. A good deed will come back and bite you in the ass.

Goring issued an order shielding decorated Jewish WW1 veterans and their families from the Gestapo. That order was used against Goring at his trial. His good deed came back and bit him in the ass.

Probably one of the more fatalistic definitions I've read of the term... but that's Urban Dictionary for you!

In all seriousness, I don't go out trying to do good deeds for people, but if the opportunity presents itself to be slightly more selfless than I usually am, there's a high chance I'll take it. The last good deed I can remember doing involved a film ticket. I'd accidentally double-booked and was going to return one of my tickets before the other film started. There was this old guy in line who I was selling the ticket to, but he was £1 short; mainly because I was in a hurry, I just took the reduced price and ran off. He seemed confused but happy to have a ticket.
