The "good people" question?

From time to time (and I haven't been a member long enough) I see people asking questions like "where have all the good people gone?", " are there any good people left in this world?", "can you trust anyone nowadays?", etc... and usually people reply saying that there are good people left, that they personally are good people, etc. If the response is so positive and everyone seems to ask themselves the same, then how come all of those who think the same (including myself) don't manage to meet any "good people"? I mean how come all of us who are looking for good people (and at least in peoples' answers it seems that many are looking for good people) haven't met with each other?

The "good people" question?
We live in different towns?
Reply:Oh no...I'm looking for bad people! The badda da betta!!
Reply:Everybody no matter how evil believes themselves to be a good person. They are just misunderstood victims of circumstance.


Still there are loads of good people out there. Try doing good yourself and join a voluntary organisation like St. John's Ambulance, Friends of the Earth, British Conservation Volunteers etc. There are hundreds of charities out there and though there are a few power freaks among them the vast majority are really nice people.





Nobody is perfect though, including yourself, so don't give up on someone when you discover they have a character flaw. Somebody totally good would not be a very comfortable friend.
Reply:agree.
Reply:my best friend is a awesome person. and my boyfriend is the best person i have ever met. i think that you just have to look in the right places to meet "good people"
Reply:Sometimes we can't see what we are looking for until we stop looking.
Reply:hello, nice to meet you..im chuck...
Reply:I suppose we need to know what your definition of a good person is! I think I'm a good person but I'm known to be bossy and opinionated. I'm honest and helpful and I think I'm kind. I know lots of people who are the same, actually.
Reply:I am a good person so we have meet now :)
Reply:Good Question from a Good Person and answered by another Good Person..





Bad Answer though - haven't got the foggiest!
Reply:YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE TWO FACES ONE THEY SHOW T THE WORLD AND ONE THEY HIDE UNTIL THE TIME COMES YOU SEE THE TRUTH THERE ARE LOTS OF GOOD PEOPLE AND I GO TO CHURCH WITH ABOUT 200 OF THEM BUT THEN ALL PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES AND ALL PEOPLE ARE SINNERS SO WE HAVE TO LEARN TO FORGIVE AND HAVE COMPASSION WE ARE ALL STRUGGLING SOME TRY HARDER THAN OTHERS KEEP THE FAITH AND BELIEVE IN GOD AND HIS WAYS AND HIS WORD AND YOU MAY NOT HAVE A THOUSAND GOOD PEOPLE BUT MAYBE A FEW IS ALL YOU NEED
Reply:"good people" are in the other sections. the main battelgrounds are politics, religion and spirituality and immigration. stay away from those places and you should be able to meet good people, like me, more often.
Reply:The percentage of good people vs. the ones that suck are infinitesimally small in regaurds to society as a whole.


Then there is the fact that people as a individual can have their good points and merits. Although people as a group or cosiety as a whole, are nothing more than pack animals that go with the way the wind is blowing.


So the reason you have not met all these nice people are from reasons like distance, age brackets, dtime zones and just because the sheer number of the ones who suck.
Reply:Good question- maybe you're looking in all the wrong places. They say love finds you when you are not looking for it. Maybe it's the same concept with meeting "good people". Best of luck to you in finding some good people. I believe I am one of them.
Reply:i know good people i am a good person but trying to find a good male partner is murder here, they are either on drugs or obsessed with sex , and intelligent socially aware male with no baggage and no disturbing peculiarities is hard to find . i do understand what you mean tho but i think this forum its easy or people to be themselves because we are not judging them physically. In reality we are judged by our appearance. that just shows us not to judge people with predetermined superficial values.
Reply:we may meet but are all loath to trust others
Reply:I think that there are many good people, but we're in a society and culture where you just don't trust anyone anymore. I try to be a good person, but the world is just so vast that I don't feel that goodness returned and I don't get to exercise it as often as I would like to.


Don't get discouraged though! Keep being you!
Reply:I DUNNO !!! BUT I HAVE THE SAME QUESTION AS U !!!
Reply:have you any idea how massive this planet of ours is?
Reply:I think one of the reasons besides the fact that answers are coming from all over is the fact that people are judged by looks and what they have and there are a lot of good people out there, but they may not wear the latest cloths or maybe they are a little or a lot over weight. Unfortunately we judge on other things before kindness first.
Reply:Because you won't necessarily find a time where you will see someone being good. Just remember not to judge the rest by the actions of a bad minority, as they are far more visible and give a bad impression where the vast majority are actually good people.
Reply:Agreed! Good people - please find me...
