Do you consider yourself a 'good' person?

[doggiedad]

i try (i try) to be good to all things under the sun.

[Peter.]

Do I believe I'm a good person? No.
Do I believe I'm forgiven? Yes

I think I'm inherently a bad person, but made right by Christ. Now I live with two natures. While trying to be Christ-like I still drag around my old dead sinful body which is selfish, mean, unloving, and down right nasty at times...

This is what I believe, but don't worry, I don't believe myself any better than anyone else who doesn't... and would never try and ram my beliefs down your throat

I couldn't have said it better myself, nice to know it's not just me whose tolerance has decreased dramatically in my older age!

Being in law enforcement has taught me many things. I know patience, tolerance and fairness.
I'm not prejudiced. I don't care care what color you are, what religious/ political affiliation you have or belong to,
what your sexual orientation is, nor your economic status.
I take people for who they are.

I'm extremely loyal.

Having said that, I think that my moral compass is pointed in the right direction and I can lay my head down at night knowing that I have at least tried to do the right things.

I also believe that there are a lot of good people out there that just do bad things.

Same here. I won't get into religion here (I respect each person's right to beliefs different than mine), but my faith is an important part of my life and how I treat people both off duty and at work.

Are you surprised by some of the answers? Sometimes the lack of answering can also be pretty enlightening, don't you think?!?

I do my best to be a good person. I live my life trying to never hurt another either emotionally or physically, and I always brake for animals on the road and I move bugs off the sidewalk/road so they don't get stepped on or run over(A few months ago there was an explosion of caterpillars everywhere. Most time consuming walks of my life). I also try to avoid conflicts because I want my life to be as unobtrusive to others' lives as much as possible, partly so that I don't unintentionally inflict any negative experiences on them and also so that when I'm gone it won't matter very much to them.

I do some conflicting things though, like fishing, which is technically against my 'do no harm' policy. I also rarely donate money or my time to charity. So I could do better.

I think I am a good person.now...I have not always been a good person..My creator knows me better than I know myself and I am sure He probably shakes His head a lot at me..I do not communicate well, so that often gets me in trouble..I have a serious mean streak and a serious "fair" set of opinions...I hold the final decision to the one who made me...I wish I could be the person I want to be ..but I really do try..
