Good vs. Bad... The Concept of Relativity


A friend of mine pointed out a fact that I almost gave up thinking about lately....
Are there good vs bad people?
Who are the good people? Where are they? And who are the bad ones?
What makes you good or bad? What makes it possible to judge people in that particular sense?
Good, as defined by the dictionary, is: having the qualities that are desirable or distinguishing in a particular thing, worthy of respect; honorable, etc..
Bad, on the other hand, is: being evil; sinful, vulgar or obscene.
So are these enough to make out if a person is good or bad? And who can confirm that these are the only factors one can use to figure out this contradiction?
Ok... A few more questions then: Can a good person turn bad? And is it possible for a bad person to become good?
Why would such a change occur?
How could it happen?
And what makes one sure this is a true change, not a temporary state due to a certain situation or event?
See? good and bad, love and hate, happiness and sadness, peace and war, these are all relative terms... They depend on the relativity factor!

"A man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. He sits on a hot stove for a minute, it's longer than any hour. That is relativity."
Albert Einstein

good and bad... for people; good people are those who treat them in the way they wanted to be treated..

ex. a guy is being loyal to his girl, and he is doing all the things that he thinks they might be good for her and he is proud of it... on the other hand, this is not what's in the girls' mind, she doesn't want him to act like that, she doesn't want him to treat her like this, or controlling her like this, that's not the way she WANTED him to be, so now he becomes a BAD person to her... he is hurting her, putting her in a lot of pain and trouble.. so this is BAD according to her..

there are some bad people in this life, and i think u and me dealt with a lot of them in our first 2 years together, and we dealt with them again after all these years and still they are bad, it's hard for a bad person to become good, but it's easy for a good person to become bad, as usual, destruction is a lot easier than building...
what i'm trying to say here, try not to judge people on what they do from the first time they do it, give them a chance, it might be a mistake, everyone do mistakes but if they did it again, then the hell with them, u don't need them in ur life...
thank u bero for the comments u added on my blog..

Everything is relative & proportional.... What you see as good can be seen as bad by someone else..... One Man's Terrorist is another Man's Hero.

Nothing is perfect or complete. I'm sure someone like you already knows that.
