We render some people as good and bad but can they really be confined to these narrow categories? — philosopher004
This is the thing that baffles me :How ready people are to unite with others to scorn someone. — philosopher004
I think people who do things of questionable or blatant disregard for morality fall into two categories. Those who believe they are doing what they're doing for a greater good (with or without sufficient evidence or solid reasoning - for example teasing or harassing someone sensitive so they can "grow thicker skin", the logic being life can be tough and the more crap you can tolerate the better off you'll be) — Outlander

1. In everyday life we never render someone solely as good or as bad at least we never do it rationally. Usually we render some acts solely as good or bad. And I think it's a quite important distinction. Because even when we say that a person is good or bad, in reality we mean that acts of that person, which we perceived, were mostly good or bad, So I think the better question is if acts can be confined to those categories.We render some people as good and bad but can they really be confined to these narrow categories?
