Exactly what is a good person?
Oct. 13th, 2002 04:34 amI have never claimed to be a good person or a bad person. I have, however, told people that I am 51% sweetheart and 49% bitch and to not push it. I think that's apt analogy. My friend, Michael, is of a slightly different opinion. He coined a phrase, “Never waken a sleeping bear without a shotgun.” I’m usually a mellow person until someone gets in my face, so that fits as well.
I think it’s interesting how a lot of people that claim to be good are often the ones that should have their picture slapped up next to the word hypocrite in the dictionary. Some people are just not happy unless they are making others miserable, but I digress.
How many times have you run across a person that’s sweeter than pure cane sugar when you have the ability to do something for them, but the minute you say no, they turn into a spiting cobra? About that time is when you start looking for your internal mongoose and go after them like Rikitikitavi hunted the cobras in the story of the same name.
Then there’s type of person that will dole out gifts and favors like they are going out of style. The catch is if they aren’t properly rewarded, in their opinion, for their so-called generosity, they will honk their own horn about how wonderful they are for going out of their way and doing these poor destitute people this huge favor, but also they go on about what rats the recipients are for not saying thanks and telling the world what a great person they are for handing out gifts. If someone neglects to thank you, that’s on them for not making use of manners that they may or may not have been taught at home. If you are dumb enough to continue sending out unsolicited gifts to people then whose fault is it when you continue to not be thanked?
I think it’s also interesting how:
Some people want to tell others how to live, even telling them their lives must be boring, etc. for them to act that way, but… what does that say for the quality of their lives that they don’t have anything better to do read about the lives of others and stick their noses into the business of others. It’s kind of like the boneheads that pop into the RP rooms, know they are RP rooms and yell, “Don’t you people have a life?” My first reaction is want to ask if they have a life since they are standing around watching people that they think have no life, but why bother because people like that never see themselves that way.
