Which one is harder, become a good person or bad??

i think it is always harder to be a good person..it is easier to break rules than to follow them..also a good person is as rare as a black swan..so i guess everyone of us has our bad side..the only thing that keeps us from making such horrible mistakes is our morals and values..

it is easier to be a bad person.

for me its not easy to be good than being bad, besides most people only remember you if your bad but ignore you when you do good things. sometimes even if we are doing good things people still not appreciate it but once we did bad things then expect them to say something about you.

I have always believed and i sto;; do that it is so much easier to be a good person. It is painless and can bring great joy to your life. it takes so much more effort to be bad. It just isn't worth the trouble that is sure to follow.

Being or Remaining or Maintaining Your self As a Good person is very difficult in today's Corrupt Society. Have a Nice day

i feel its hard to be a good person in real life coz doing bad things and getting caught can be happened very easily. It's harder to be good and if ur nt gud u can mess up sometimes so its really hard to be good.being a bad boys is really easy that's what i think...

It's easier being bad or evil. Lets face it there's nothing difficult about being either, although you have to have very low standards to think it's perfectly fine to be bad. I think there's a certain amount of trouble with being good, especially from a child's point of view but as adults we should really be able to do the right thing and I think it's much harder to meet high standards. I don't have a problem being the way I am, as my parents are very good at rising me and their views on this matter is pretty much the lack of wanting to be good. I tend to agree, people choose their own path it doesn't choose it for them.

While very few of us is either totally "good" or "bad", it is much harder to purpose to be good. It means you must walk a narrow path and sometimes stand alone re really important behaviors and morality. It seems easier to join the crowd, succomb to peer pressure and wrong thinking and actions, but, in the end it's worthless. What makes it possible to be "good" is getting our strength from God and basing our choices on His principles. Father knows best!

the question is relative and at the same time subjective... besides, sinical, what kind of word is that? so, it all depends on the person... for some, it is easier to be an angel, for others, doing evil is more like it...

Onec I felt like that. Speaking about other people, gosiping. But after consentrating on online earning i hahe no time to do that sort of bad things. At the same time one guiltiness is trubling me. I always ask me whether I am a perfect mother? A perfect home maker?

Its really harder to be a good person. The reason is simple. All human beings are sinner so technically we are all bad. But there is a big difference between bad and really, really bad. I'm referring to criminals. When you compare good to that kind of bad then it easier to be good than to become bad.

I agree that being a good person is really really hard.. for example,lies.. no matter how big or small it is, it is considered as mortal sin. Hmmm i know that being good is damn hard. Because like other girls there, i drink a lot. I even scaped from my work .. hehe.my bosses never knew that during our office hours we drink, we swim, we stroll,etc.haha i am so bad that the company is paying me for my pleasures... but one thing I am sure of, life is boring without these little naughtiness..definitely no thrill and excitement

It's hard to be good. There are a lot of temptations and there are really people and circumstances that would urge you to do bad things. Being bad is easier because you just have to cause harm to yourself and to other people. Of course some might have difficulty because they have guilt in their hearts but some might feel proud because they have become used to doing good things, that they no longer feel guilty.

Hi like most of the answers in this discussion I do believe that being good is hard than being bad. As stated by Benjamin Franklin " It takes many good deeds to build a reputation, but only one bad one to lose it." It summed up all the arguments why it is harder to be good than being bad.

Hi Cris! Good question. Actually, we all have full of negative and positive traits and none of us is perfect. I agree with you that we always keep thinking that we are good not bad, actually, we just cannot see our bad points, or just do not want to see. You should not be too harsh on yourself and should try too much to change yourself, just be yourself and try to think positive and try to help others. Good persons are always needed in this world.

You made me realize something after reading your discussion. When I am having a serious problem I like to tell myself why is this happening to me, is this a karma, I know I am a good person I did not done any bad to other people. But the real thing is, I am not a good person. I am also guilty of judging people or talking behind their back. I also disregard help, I maybe good sometimes but I am more of a bad person. That is what I realize now. Yes is the answer, and why is the another question. Why it is hard to be a good person?

Hi Crisfannum! Don't be so hard on yourself! Nobody in this world is perfect or without "sin"! We all have our days when we do things or say things that we are not proud of! That is just being human! Believe me, everyone "talks behind others backs" no matter how much they want to deny it or pretend that they are a "good" person! Just because you tend to think negative or are sometimes sinical doesn't necessarily make you a bad person so get that thought out of your head right now! You haven't hurt anyone physically or killed anyone! There is alot more to being a "bad" person then just thinking or being negative! I should know, believe me!

To be a good person is very hard indeed especially in these hard times. Life is making us worse than we want to be. I observed this all around me: the world is full of bad persons and one can hardly find good persons or a real friend. But I think this is not to blame as we are subject to environment changes. But if you put yourself in other people's shoes and think you don't like to see only bad people around you, you may want to become a good one.

Many people pretend to be good and maintain their goodness among us but that is not a permanent thing. I have seen many people who pretend to be good to me on face but they are the one who create many issues at work. This is a very common scenario at work , I have not experienced this in personal life. Once I get to know about these people, I treat them their way. I do not want to be bad to anyone for any reason but sometimes I have to be straight forward to tell people that I am busy and would be able to help you after so and so time which is logical because my work is priority.

If you put it that way, I probably have those "bad" characteristics too but that I guess is human nature. Sometimes though, when we're unmindful of our actions, we tend to do those things although since it's our nature, we do it unconsciously. We all are imperfect so there's a reason why we have bad habits. I think its easier for me to be a good person. I consider myself leaning to the good side of life because I don't like to be stressed too much and being bad gives you too much stress because whatever you do always give an equal and similar reaction. It really depends on what type of person you are and your preferences. In my case I prefer to be always at the good side that it will become very difficult for me to do something bad like lie for example.
