….I believe that I am a good person. I am not mean, I do not lie. I do not steal, cheat, betray, or harm others.
I help anyone that I can, with open arms, an open mind and open heart, all are welcome in my home. Some have said that I get taken advantage of… I never see it that way though. If some one steals from me, lies to me, as long as they do not physically harm me, I am the one that allowed it to happen, and if I knew of the deed, and did nothing to stop it, that is not being taken advantage of.
I have read far too many passages of the bible, far too many wiccan and gypsy spells, seen far too much hatred and death, abuse and addicition well, let us just say, I have read a lot. I have learned a lot. I am not Christian, I am not a devout Atheist but I am a good person.
No book, no words from another, can change who I am. I am a helper. I love my family, I love nature, I love reading and writing.
I find joy in nearly all things… rain, sun, flowers, soil, air, children, clouds, water, animals… I can not think any one thing or person that I hate. I am pretty sure that I am not even fully capable of hating. I may dislike something abstract, like the way a hairless cat appears but I love the cat still. I may dislike the way something feels, like wool against my skin, but I love the sheep. I may dislike the way that person has been mean, like Ted Bundy, but I love humanity, I may not like the way some things are… but I can not hate them.
Some people feel the need to believe in the words of a book, whether it be of spells, or of Christ, whether they be words of Scientists, or words of humble men, the great thing about being human is that we can think. Our ability to think gives us so much pleasure but also so much doubt. Believing in the words of another does not make a person good or bad, it is the actions in their everyday lives that makes them who they are.
Religion and theory should not define a person, although they can ad to knowledge, and knowledge is power, the power to think. The power to be good or to be bad.
I truly do not know if I am viewed as good person in others eyes, but in my heart I know who I am. I am momofplenty.
Hi Momo! Is that really you? I’m so glad you are my friend—so honored.
“Religion and theory should not define a person, although they can ad to knowledge, and knowledge is power, the power to think. The power to be good or to be bad”. Two thumbs up. Now I am a Christian but that doesn’t mean that I do everything right or that I am perfect or better than anyone else in any way. Like you, I love but I also do not always like; but I can still love the person or the thing, or other creature. It is a matter of discernment and not judgment. Great article.
I think you are a great person. I feel honored knowing you. Persnally, I love everyone on Earth and have love left. As for people like the leader of Syra, I do not love his actions but he is still a human being. I pray each night for him to change. It is hard to explain, but I did go to 12 years of Catholic school and almost became a nun, but I had too many problems and they would not let me. And my parents would not let me either.
hay flower you are a gem it showes in all you wright how your mind works,and i hope we all have the qualitys needed to be the light that shines in all peoples lives bless you.
feel the power of this article just enoughf to bring a tear to the eye. thanks for that it is good to let that happen at times.
You’re right that religion shouldn’t define a person, but I have found that religion can help me to try to live my life in the right way.
I totally Agree with your article my friend..Like it!!
This was a heartfelt article. Knowing that you’re a good person within your heart, that tries to do the rights things is the important part, doesn/t matter (my opinion) what someone else thinks,
I agree with your viewpoints in this article.
Very good article:)
P.S. I think you’re a good person:)
I like when you say that you think that you can’t really hate. This in my opinion sumarises the way you are. Great and simple way to tell others the way one is. Good share!
Your article reflects the quality of your soul. You may not know how good you are, until you become the focus of another person’s observation. The content of your expression is an indicator of who you are..
The world needs more people with your heart and honesty
timing
very nice article
You ARE a good person – you’re a fantastic writer and philosopher too. You are ….momofplenty. Kudos to you, girl.
You are a wonderful person. I like what you have wriiten ” the power to be bad or to be good.” It is in the free will that we have, a freedom of choice of whom we want to be.
People and the things of this world can be difficult to understand.
Of course you are a good person! One if the finest points you make is that we humans think. I have taught my 6 children to think for themselves. On points of faith they definitely don’t follow my thinking, but that’s OK with me, because they do think and make their choices.
You are a wonderful, kind person momofplenty…Your words and actions as I see here truly reflect your inner beauty! Glad to have met you….
Oh, this was a wonderful article and yes, I know you are a good person inside and out…
There are two adages I love: Live and let live and Do good and good will follow. A person’s religious affiliation or belief does not matter one iota to me. It’s good for people to live according to what believe in. I don’t even know you but I believe you possess the mentioned qualities and you’re a wonderful Writer too! Peace
