Best Answer

Your question implies a differentiation between that which is good and something else which is bad or less than good. As it should be. Goodness is not relative. There are hosts of people who 'thought' they were doing good or being good when in fact, they were acting or believing badly. Goodness brings forth positivity, not negativity. Goodness brings forth light, not darkness. A good person is one who tries to make the world a better place based upon a valid and reasonable philosphical foundation. Notice the term "valid" and "reasonable". There is no moral equivalency between good and bad. A terrorist and a revolutionary are not flip sides of the same coin. For example, a good person does not murder, or steal, or covet, or make idols. These are negative. A good person creates positive. To be clear, that little voice in your head (that so many falsely rely on to tell them what is good and what is bad), is often unreliable. Feelings too are often unreliable. Good people do what is right regardless of what they"feel like" doing and despite social aceptance of badness.
