Define a good person. Define a bad person. As to what makes one or the other, you can count the grains of sand in the sahara and still there would be more reasons.

Yes, in this case, you must give more detail.

By philosophical ideal, whatever is bad affects a society in a negative sense. Whatever benefits is considered good. Bad is also looked at as the absence of good.


I suppose being someone who is giving can get out of hand when they are taken advantage of. Then when they refuse to be who they were, others look at them as being bad, because they hold them to that expectation. I guess when someone is tired of doing good and wants to focus more on themselves or be vindictive in some sense?

This is the best answer I can give based upon your question.

Betrayal. If a good person feels like someone totally just blind sided betrayed them, I can see how that would very quickly turn what would normally be a good person into what I guess would be considered a bad person but I can't say bad myself cause I think whatever they would do would be completely justified. Well for the most part.

I belive a good person is someone who thinks about others before them self. And a bad person is someone who doesn't care about anyone besides themselves.

I would say "lack of confidence".
Everyone is good when you think yourself is good.

I don't understand this question. Seems a good person is good and a bad person is bad....both very subjective descriptions anyway.

Do you mean what makes a good person do bad things?

Desperation, confusion, hormones, etc., maybe.

Think it's based on perspective, and how you are looking at things.

confused I don't much agree with this comment,
I know a heck of a lot of people that think they are good but in fact couldn't be much further from it.

But also know some people that think they are bad but are not.

But is so complicated...
Is the mass opinion of an ever changing society and moral condition make it necessarily good or bad?

cheers

Betrayal is seen differently also,
Some see it as a betrayal if you don't agree with them on most if not all issues.
I don't care how good of a friend someone is, we never agree on every issue.
unless we only agree in order to keep things quiet and peaceful.

I would rather others be able to ask me anything, knowing that they are going to get an HONEST answer. Not just what they want to hear.

wise words that make alot of sense. However one must not ignore the fact that the person responsible for hurting that man share also part of the blame. Does that make the "provoker" also a bad person?

Fact is that people tend not knowing what they want or they do not realise what they have. That is already something bad in itself.

Good or bad in what? A person can be good caring giving loving, and can be good to others, but can also be a drunk, a liar, or a theif. A person can be good to everyone around them and treat them selves think of them selves as bad.
A person can be both! and usually are in one way or another.
