    At The Risk Of Appearing "Full Of Myself", I Would

    Answer YES.

    My Father And Mother Would Have To Be The The Most Honest And

    Careing People I Have Ever Known, And I Have Always Tried To Follow

    In Their Footsteps...:).

    My Credit And Banking Records Are Perfect Since I Left School, At The

    Age Of 17, Over That Period Of 49 Years I Have Never Defaulted On So Much

    As 1 Single Cent...:).

    I Love ALL Animals, And The Majority Of Humans.

    Looking Back Over My Life I Am Proud To Say, That Given My Time

    Again, There Is Very Little I Would Change...:).



    Cheers Glen.

    I think I have a good nature and good and reasonable ideas about things.

    I don't think I *try* enough to be a good person. And quite often I behave selfishly or even unkindly.

    So I don't think I can proclaim myself a "good person" - good enough perhaps, hopefully not downright bad.

    Am I a good person?

    That depends on who you ask.

    My own perception is that I am just a person, and subject to the ebbs and flows of life that we all are.

    Isn't any behavior we may use to label a person "good" or "bad" ultimately defined by the circumstances?

    Taking another person's life could be either a grand gesture of altruism or the most heinous act of villainy, it all depends on the circumstances, motives and intentions of the actor, doesn't it?

    So I'm more interested in motives and intentions before I will go to the lengths of labeling a person "good" or "bad".

    there are no good or bad persons. whatever the shortcoming of intentions, they are all we have. though of course the result of them, in combination with circumstances which are often only partially visible, are all anyone else sees, by which to judge.

    i believe good intentions involve more then a belief or a pose, that everything will work out if everyone does this or that. i believe they require education ourselves as to how things actually work, enough to understand the general statistical mechanism by which the kind of world we all have to live in, is made better or worse.

    i believe i make every humanly reasonable attempt to be responsible to this understanding in as nearly every choice of behavior, actions and priorities, as it is within my power to do so.

    i believe that is as close as it is possible to come to acting more "good" then "bad".

    like i said. i don't think there is anything else then this, that constitutes this idea of doing good or bad, and of which being one or the other, is simply a non-thing.

    I like to believe I'm a good person, but I do have my moments. Like today, I'm in Colorado and there's flooding everywhere. Homes are being flooded, people are dying, and business are shutting down....but I'm over here irritated because I drank all night and I really just want a mother fucking latte right now, but there's no where to get one. Then of course I feel bad, because at least I have my health, my life, and my loved ones.

    You need to crawl up inside yourself a lil bit more and look at yourself a lil bit more.

    hangovers are a bitch, they bring out the worst in all of us! and lets face it, a latte always makes a hangover better.

    Lol, thanks for making me feel like I'm not that much of a monster <3. I'm actually not hungover, just sleepy and grumpy as hell. Buuuuut, I did it to myself.
