Re: Are you a good person by your own accord or by religious prescription?
i feel bad if i harm someone, in any way
therefore i avoid doing bad and pursue doing good
because it feels good to do good, so its a win/win situation
and if i do hurt someone, i forgive myself, ask for forgiveness, and do my best not to do it again .
so i would consider myself a good person because i pursue good and avoid bad
oh and i believe in karma, so thats motivation to avoid bad anyways
