About People

Good people, Bad people. What defines a person? How do we define them? In my opinion, people are just people, same as each other.  But how can we know if what we are doing is good or bad. Do we have standards? Do we have some rules and guidelines that each person needs to do/follow? – For them to be tagged as the good ones. Some people would say that Religion would be the guide to do good things. Well, f-ck. Let me quote something from Steven Weinberg – “Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and bad people doing bad things. But for good people to do bad things, that takes religion.” – in which strongly agree, so let’s not get started with religion.

This is just a thing I am pondering on. To be honest – I do not have a f-cking clue how to define a person, but one thing I do know is what separates one from another is WHAT THEY DO (again, this is just my opinion – just to be clear). Insert Moral Fiber – it is the capacity of a person to do what is right/good no matter what the circumstances are. We do not live in a perfect world and we will not see the perfect one in our lifetime, ever – that is a fact. You can do anything that you think is good and some would still label you as the bad one. It is an ugly lemon that life throws at us. So, as long as you’re not hurting anyone, do what you do. The important thing is at the end of the day, you can look into the mirror and say to yourself, you are a good person.

Before I end this piece, let me leave you with something I picked up (from the internet, of course)

“Sometimes, Good people do Bad things to make Bad people realize what good is”

I am not a good writer, never was, never wanted to be or have a deep passion for writing. I am an introvert. Writing is one way of getting ideas out of my head.
