Do you always look for the good in others?

Question

I think that everyone has some good in them, even if, on the surface, they appear to be the most vile, hateful person you'll ever meet. I think if we looked more for the good instead of pointing out each other's flaws/mistakes, that would help each other out and probably start a chain reaction.

What do you think?

Answer 1

I agree, I always look for the good in everyone. No one is all bad. No one is completely without a heart.

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

i look for the best but prepare for the worst.

Answer 4

Yes! There was a girl in my english class who decided that she hated me on the first day of school. For the rest of the year she was nasty to me but I smiled and said hi to her every class. We ended up in the same group for our english final project, and at first she was the same to me but all of a sudden she apologized to me and we became really good friends. I found out that she was going through a very hard time causing her to take her anger out at school on other students, and I didn't mind forgiving her. She needed a good friend to talk to and I'll try to be the best I can for her. I really hate the cliques in school and all the drama. If we looked for good in others everyone in school could get over it and be friends. you made a good point :)

Answer 11

I agree with you but I look at the negative in people as well . I believe that people's negative characteristics sharpen our character to make us what we really need to be as"good" people. My negative side helps others be better people. As the saying goes, Iron sharpenth Iron.

Answer 18

Yes, I always do. I never judge people by what they look like until I really get to know them, but even if they seem like they are a bad person, there seems to be spots when their good people.  

Answer 19

I agree with you.

Even the worst of us, has good in it.

And even the best of us, has some bad in it.

So - always lookng for the best in everyone -- is the best !!!
