You Decide

I don't know if I am a good person. I have known a few bad people, and I am not that.

I am not sure about the definition of what a good person is, but it is possible that I could be one. It is a very difficult thing to live up to though, as it all hinges upon who you are talking to when the question comes up.

I am fairly certain that my mother would say I am a good person, and probably my father, and definitely my granddaughters, whom I spoil to no end.

My wife would usually say so, but not when I am singing along to the TV commercial ditties... most notably the "Liberty liberty liberty - liberty" commercials, which she cannot stand.

The people at work are probably 90%/10% on my being a good person. The 90% who show up on time ready to work think I'm a great guy. The others not only think I'm a real asshole, they generally think it from some other company rather quickly.

I am a private person, so while the neighbors do wave when I pass, they probably resent my not joining in their communal projects, festivities, and rumor mongering.

I am an American patriot, so if you are anti democracy, capitalism, and/ or nuclear family... you will not like me, you commie scum.

I am a southern white male who is not racist, no matter what your professor tells you.

I have not been arrested in a really long time, and when I was, I was not hurting anyone who didn't need it.

There are some young ladies who deserve apologies from me... and a few who owe one.

I am not religious, but I think the world would be better off if everyone attended a southern methodist church regularly. In fact, if everyone else will agree to go, I will start attending again. I will even eat those casseroles cooked in questionable kitchens.

I like dogs, but not cats.

I am courteous to everyone who replies in kind, and I do not cut in front of people when merging. It is my good upbringing. If you think holding doors for ladies is sexist, then you are obviously not a lady.

So, what think you? Is that kind of person good, bad, or indifferent?

You decide for yourself, but do so knowing that I am good with who I am.

Good, Bad, Indifferent

I always thought of myself as a good person. Bending over backwards to help people that would never in a million years do the same for me. But I’m not.

Bipolar disorder is known for having extremely empathetic people. I myself am empathetic to a fault. But being empathetic doesn’t make me a good person.

I am selfish, aggressive, and occasionally a bit rude. I will fist fight you in the parking lot for a “good morning”. I love with everything I have, but alas that doesn’t make me a good person.

I can’t make friends to save my life, and have emotionally distanced myself from everyone that has ever loved me. I get sucked into my delusions, and my hallucinations. Sometimes in the really bad days, I hurt myself, and that doesn’t make me a good person.

I’ve made my mom cry, because she can’t help me. I’ve made my brother cry because I don’t want him looking after me. How can I make those who love me most, that emotionally distraught, and still call myself a good person?

But I live my life, and take my meds. I hang out with my family, I take care of my kids. I go to work every day, and I struggle a lot. I’m not a good person, but I am a person who is trying to be a better person.
