Do you think being good is best?

I must congratulate you for being a good child and a good citizen now. Had you not followed what your parents taught you, you could have gone out of the gate and thrown to your neigbor's yard his wet clothes. But still, you manage to keep your cool and instead simply put it on the sides. But if i were you, i would have gone to the neighbor and given him his wet clothes, telling him that your gate is not a clothesline. Though, i would do it in a nice manner.

I'll go and talk to the neighbor and tell him to find a better place to hang their clothes. If it won't work and they continue that crap, their clothes to the incinerator. I can do whatever I want with it because it is in my gate.

If it were me I think I would tell the neighbors nicely to move it because 'i'll them a good excuse why they can't put it there' and maybe they'll stop. I was told once by my aunts that if I hold on my nervousness and anger inside, it is not good for us. I will then really explode. I've done that before, where I am trying to be too nice that people try to take advantage of me like when my friends wanted to eat my chips and drinks I bought and they ate because I said it was okay. Later on they were telling me they wanted to use my laptop while they knew I was using it and I let them use it anyways. My parents had bought us pizza that night they came over and we had planned since they were (for example) 9 pieces of pizza, 3 of us, so each of us gets 3. One of friends ate his pizza but was still hungry and he got mines. I didn't say anything but I knew I was being rude to everyone, even to my friends. When people joked around to me like any other time, I took those jokes as a threat or an insult (or anything sounding that they were making fun of me). So I was rude to those people. That was because I was mad.

I'd like to say not only at ur age, but when u grow up, entering into society, when u get a job u will strongly feel that being good sometimes is not a good thing. For instance, I'm in my 26 now and got a job in a state-owned company, here if u work well u will have more resposibility to di various kinds of work. Because majority of them are sitting there and doing nothing, only U r a resposible person, so the leader of ur team will give u all that work, u may ask why? Because others cannot be instructed and they r not responsible for anything. And that's the situation I face now. After changing job from a private company, I had a habit to do thing right and be responsible for what my part is, and then I bacame the busiest person in my department and earned the least. I know that's unfiar but how can I do? We r told to be good when we were young and we r used to it, by facing this situation u cannot pretend to be not responsible because u r. Therefore, don't lose urself at any time, I know it is hard but we both have to!

maybe its depend how to be good you are.. you being kindness have a limit. because you know what is wrong and what is right.Sometime our neighbor have a luck of think.. you can talk them in them right terms. don`t tolerate in that attitude.

As i always prefer non violence in everything. I always obeys my parents all the time. I dont want to create a problem everywhere. Even i go compromise with other peoples i see in the life.

yes, i like to believe it is best. being good in such a way that one knows what s/he is doing is best. i admire you for saying that you were an obedient kid. i think you have reaped the fruits of being one. we aspire for perfection in the thing we do. however, there are always people who are not at par with us or way ahead of us. when i encounter this, i exercise patience, much of it.

I am assuming your parent is concened about your safety and well being by demanding you to be obedient with their advice rather than order at time you are young, where you probably also is navice and childish at that stage of age. You are not being good by obeying them , but rather choose to be guided by the wisdom of your parent long gain experiences in life in your daily living as a teen. It is probably a good thing for you as not many teens have parent that really care about raising a responsible teen into his/her adulthood in our society today.

Being good is not necessarily a sign of best or perfect type of personality. To be a best known human you should develop good qualities in all the life corners, such as a member of society, father in the family, employee in an organization and the friend of others.

Being known to be a good person is not a sin to God but you will definitely be a target to bad people who want to add a dirt in your reputation. Avoid any confrontation with those who want to test your anger, just ignore them.

Being good is not the best. It just means that you are afraid of them that's why you followed them The best thing is obedience not triggered by fear. We might say that we are good but the fact is, we are all sinners. We can pretend to be good but inside our hearts their were lot of complaints within us that somehow leads to grudges. You don't need to pretend to be good just to please other people around you, it is always better to do things out of love and out of your passion. In other way around, about the freak neighbor you have shared to us, you did a great job by not putting it to a garbage bin or else it would make war. Well, somehow we need to understand that we can never please everyone. It might hard to accept that fact but it is very true. If that happen to me, I would just do what you did. I don't want foe, or any misunderstanding between me and my neighbor. I am very friendly and really don't want if somebody hates me.

Every parents put restriction to their child on every thing. And when we are big we come to known what our parent use to tell us and why they use to stop us and even they teaches us to be good to all of person and same i think sometimes i am good or the best to handle the situation sometime only
