What Is To Be A Good Man?

By _passion_fruit May 28, 2020 8 answers Last updated May 28, 2020

In many moments of my life, I wonder "Am I a good person"? On some days I feel like a good person, in another I feel like the worst. I wonder what it's to be a good person? To be at peace with yourself? For me it is a constant striving, choosing the solutions that every day we do, confronted with different situations. I participate in charitable actions, judging trees, I'm involved in cleanings and things related to the common good. I consider this a positive selfishness. Just to do good is good for yourself and I do it for myself so I feel good. But at another moment I wonder when you get into a situation with a bad person, a person who is unpleasant, does evil, etc. I just can't stand indifferent. For example, we have a teacher who behaves offensively with students. It hurts us all the time, and besides malice and intimidation, it doesn't come out. He is harassing the trainees mentally, just because he is in this post teacher and has the right. He's killing his personal complexes in the family most likely. According to the perfectly satisfying definition of a sociopath. On the other hand, I see the students, some of them are very good people and they are extremely tolerant of insults and malice directed against them. Others boil the head and let them be refracted. I am the black sheep in such a situation and at the slightest injustice to me or the other interfere and I start to fight with it. As a result, I feel bad, in my thoughts, hatred appears, which is not inherent to me. At the end of the day, I feel squeezed for defending the good and the truth. And others who bend their head and relate tolerant to such individuals have been burdened less by me and ultimately have greater peace than I do. Uncracking is healthy. At times like this, I wonder if I'm a bad person? Am I bad for hating fools and bullies? At times I meditate on some monks and spiritual people, how they isolate themselves from the world, and rely on the good. They're okay, they're in a place where there are no idiots, and there's no one to quarrel with, but are they not a kind of people other than psychos? If you see a man on the road stealing a bag, won't you catch him and beat him? Is that a bad man? Or are you going to act that you haven't noticed, and you're going to church the next day? Why do I feel bad, and they are satisfied with themselves? I've always wanted to live somewhere far away from the idiots and to reconcile myself, to be at peace, but after a long time, I'm seeing another one doing injustice and going crazy.

A good man hates evil, but not the man across the street. Try in some situations to respond to evil with good, not to stay passive and to bear insults. So the opposite will feel uncomfortable, may think twice, will be affected, and you will be "avenged" in such a way that you will not feel bad.

I think everyone is good and bad at the same time. The coin has two sides and one can never be sure how it will go into a given situation until it falls into it. Each of us has an individual character and own history (here trauma, there emotional baggage). It's okay to dislike everything and everyone, but that doesn't make you a bad person. If you get in a fight with someone, you're right, and others will be wrong. This goes for you yourself, some will see you as a good person and others as not so good. In the face of the students, you are a lifesaver, but for that teacher you are a great irritant and you ruin her discipline. You protect your truth, her hers, and each of your students own. No one is sinless and fully balanced. Learn to accept your mistakes, forgive yourself and beg for forgiveness. Learn to accept everyone as equals and not to glue labels "go t". Put all the energy that worries or wears out, draw, run in the park, go to the boxing, or whatever's helping you. If you live in isolation, you will have no stimuli, and then it will be normal to be spiritually twisted, but you will not be earthly adequate and fully aware of human reality. You're going to be wisdom and you're right, but you're not going to get over badness daily, you're going to run away from it. You're going to have a wonderful side view of things, but you're not going to be in it. Did you know that many of these spiritually elevated people are doing "grounding" exercises? It's an interesting fact.

Number 1 Give some concrete example? For example, someone offends your mother and calls her "what," and how would you react to that with good?

Thank you for the comments! My problem is that I'm super sensitive, Empat. When a bad, foolish man stands against me, I feel his whole mess, the whole evil pour over me. Unfortunately, I was born, and that cannot be changed. All my conscious life, I run away from the stupid and bad people, and I can't and I can't escape them. Always life meets with them as if on purpose. It's like there really is some kind of power that makes it very likely my own attitude. Because I'm a very adventurous kind of person, I always happen to travel and live with people. And always, always for my roommate is the worst person I can fall for. On the other hand I am super inquisitive and constantly learning new things, but I realized that the more I study, the more I isolate myself from the world. It's just that people are discussing super-dumb topics, and with most people, I can't understand. I'm not taking this seriously, but it's just "what's the weather" type of talk or stupid political reflections from people who don't have any idea of politics. From people who listen to Chalga, from a bunch of rednecks pretending to be mafia. And at some point, I'm alone.

There is no such thing as a good or bad person. There are good and bad deeds, words, intentions. Sometimes good ones get bad results. Also the interpretation of kindness and badness is different in each and what man 1 thinks is good or bad, man 2 does not share it. Bratan.

Number seven, yes, but good and bad deeds and intentions make up a name. Name of good or bad man. Besides, I think your comment is absolutely cliché. Their people write it on their forehead, what they are, the energy they emit, the eyes and the body language.

There are two options. Option number 1: Good and evil are subjective concepts. Example: It's good for Hitler to kill the Jews. For the Jews this is evil i.e. depends on the individual's perspective. Option number 2: Good and evil are objective concepts. Absolutes. In that case, there is a higher power, God. Example: Love, hope, empathy are good. Envy, aggression, hypocrisy are evil-always, without change, so-absolti. Then every man has a moral compass embedded in his heart. It's like a programmed one. Every man has a conscience. A lot of people suppress her conscience, sort of a glitch in the system. There are philosophical currents both for option 1 and for option 2. I support option 2 because I do not see how something will be defined as ' good ' or ' evil ' by one, but by another as the opposite. In that case, the definitions lose their meaning. And if there is absolutely good and absolute evil, it must have a higher consciousness, which is perfect and defines these absolutty. What do you think?
