i was having a discussion w my friends and they were arguing that being kind makes you a good person. i personally disagree with this because i feel like people are kind in part because they want to feel good about themselves, not because they're good people. i was just wondering what other people thought about this bc i feel like i have kind of an unpopular opinion on the matter.
have you ever been completely selfless in your reasoning for doing something?
Doing a good thing for someone is never selfless all u stupids who said yes plz delete

just being kind doesn't make you a good person

hey friend. my way of thinking is only kindness doesnt make you a good person. i mean i have relative that give alot of money to the poor but when it come to controlling his anger they are worse than me . I mean if i take someone word(i forgot who it was)" if you are right you dont need to get angry" and if you are wrong you have no right to get angry".well i think you must have both kindness and control over yourself but i think control is more important.I think that anger is the one that has the power to destroy relationship,anger makes you do bad thing as you dont listen to your mind and after sometime you reealise what you did was wrong but cannot correct the mistake.
that was meant to be funny, but i'll re-write though. i have a very polarized opinion on this topic. things are either black or white or all or nothing. i feel like we become empty vessel & it is ur job to fill those with good times and good memories. also u could fill them with bad memories.
they are good people if they're doing the right thing when nobody is watching lol

i basically agree with you but they're words that were coined to describe things and not all words have an exact definition based on semantics, doesn't mean they don't exist or can't be used to describe things. Like I said it comes down to a matter of perspective if you really want to go there
i have never seen much point in getting heavy with stupid people or jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. in a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, i figure anyone who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping somebody else off deserves to be left alone. they will not inherit the earth, but neither will i, and i have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that i will never find peace and happiness either. but as long as i know there's a pretty good chance i can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, i do the best i can between the high points.

don't get me wrong miguel i think we have practically the same view but like
those definitions and our tendencies to group things in those categories exist for a reason and there are standard definitions, even though they're vague
