WE 155: Until you piss me off, I’m a nice person // The Good and Bad

We cannot be absolutely certain whether the hundreds or thousands of people we have already met are truly good or bad at their core. Let's be honest: sometimes we judge people based on how they look on the outside, and other times we base our judgment on what others think of them.

When I leave the house each day, I see a variety of different behaviours in people. Because I'm the kind of person who will pay attention to my environment. And on what I observe and notice, I decide if they are good or terrible. I formerly held this viewpoint. But when I kept monitoring the actions of others, particularly my close friends and family, things started to shift.

I have lived in this world for 25 years and have seen how people interact with one another, demonstrating that everyone has good and terrible sides. In actuality, many of us are quick to condemn others when, in truth, many of them just express judgments based on what they have heard or seen.

With all the life experiences I've had, I've come to the conclusion that a person's behaviour depends on the factors that can set off either their good or bad side.

The sayings "respect begets respect" and "if you don't want it done to you, don't do it to others" are ones that I firmly believe in. If all you show someone is hate or fury, don't expect them to be kind to you. Additionally, if you have treated him well, he will undoubtedly treat you well in return.

I believe that good people are also capable of doing bad things since God doesn't have any preferences. We all encounter challenges in life, including circumstances that can put our morality to the test.

For terrible individuals, the same holds true. They're not always horrible, I think. Maybe Disney movies gave it to me, but I've shown that some nasty individuals are just evil because of the trauma they had growing up.

Based on the amount of people I talked with, I was able to convince myself that people wear a variety of hats on a regular basis. They might be rebels inside their own family or gentle little lambs among other people.

I say this because one of these two actions even produced me. So far, my actions have been congruent with how others treat me.
