What makes a person bad? And what makes a person good?

@Tinywhisper11 Whether someone is considered "good" or "bad", at the end of the day we are all sinful people. As humans, we all have the potential for good and bad. We have fairly "good" people who make bad decisions but does that make them any less? I don't believe it's cut and dry like that. Your definition of good or bad may be different from mine. And even when we try our best to choose goodness, sometimes we still fall short and do or say things we may not be proud of. That just comes with us all be sinners. I know people like to say it doesn't matter or that a sin is a sin but there's different levels of "bad". Sometimes people do things to people that one can never even imagine or comprehend, there's a special place for them. Those are considered bad people to me. Then we have the mother who's out here stealing diapers and food to feed her baby. Stealing is "bad" yet I wouldn't label her as such. What's the person's intention? What's in their heart? As far as is there really a thing as bad kids, I'm iffy. My instinct is to say yes... but then deep down, I know that often times troubled kids are really hurt kids who grow up into adults who hurt people. They may have been abused or lacked the love they needed, whatever the reason, the cycle didn't break. That's not true for all though and it's no excuse for hurting others. I believe we have to continually make the daily decision to choose good for the day as that requires the most effort. It's so easy to do bad, but that doesn't mean we stop trying. 

@Tinywhisper11

There is no one answer.... people just like labels  IMO to make them feel comfortable.

There are people who do bad even horrible things but they are also capable to do good.... people who normally only do Good things are capable to do bad things as well.   The difference is choosing to act.  

Good and bad is subjective depending on others views and beliefs as well... it is hard to define... just like  defining who is attractive because that varies by person's perspective as well. 

@Tinywhisper11 These are some really deep questions. I'm not really sure if there is a simple answer though. I think maybe some of it has to do with what people are taught growing up and the examples they're given. Some it I think has to do with choices they make. I think sometimes people go through things that make them angry and bitter and they vow that they'll never let themselves get into that place again. They justify their behavior as a way of protecting themselves

@Tinywhisper11 Identifying someone as good or bad is just a label. People use labels to aid their comprehension of a situation or person. However, it really doesn’t help with Identity or self-esteem. In the long run there are only choices or decisions. Each decision has a consequence to it. Cause and effect. That consequence can be a positive one or a negative one. Based on societal norms and ethics these consequences can have a huge impact or a result that is mild. The choices someone makes can either create a satisfying life, or one filled with judgement and challenges. leaving an individual Constantly having to learn under the premise of trial and error.

I can share my experience. Growing up i wanted to be good at any cost. I won't lie or not even hurt another even by words . Then i went through a bad situation, where i have to lie to save my self and I wanted to hurt that person,if by words atleast. Now i think being good sometimes is a privilege. Ultimately we have the responsibility to protect ourselves, that matter a lot while making our decision.

Welcome to h*ll ,

All wanted to make me like this

They were successful enough.

@Tinywhisper11 I feel it has something to do with one's upbringing, but not always. Sometimes, children who enter adulthood do a better job at raising a family, then their own parents did. But on the other hand, sometimes their parents did a better job at raising them. Look at how many grandparents today are being parents again, and some not by choice. And in some cases, their children's parents are not fit to raise their own children. There are a lot of reasons, for this. I hope this helps to answer some of your questions.
