What is Remembered are the Bad Deeds

It depends, for me if he/she is naturally a bully, and he/she did this very often, then I would remember him/her as such, but if he/she was the very kind person I know of, then all i would remember most his/her good deeds. Well this is just my opinion :)

Sad to say that is how many of us tend to view others. It actually depends on the severity of ones mistakes. For petty mistakes, I think it is not justifiable to always recall the mistakes. All of us commit mistakes many times so it's better if we forgive one another and forget the past mistakes. How good it would be if all of us view one another not on the mistakes that we do but on our positive attidudes. We do not need to loose someone before we appreciate the good qualities of a person. It will be too late and useless to do that. So while we are still living it is important that we cultivate the positive side of us and try not to focus on the mistakes of other persons.

I think that you're quite right when you say that most of the things that we remember about a person are the bad things that they have done in their life. I know that when I think about any of my friends, I will always think about the negative things that they've done before I get around to thinking about the positive things. Because of this, it is very important that you try to do a lot of positive things in your life, because you have to make the effort to level out everything bad that you've done that other people might be remembering.

Well, it all depends on how much a person has done good or bad. If most of the deeds were good, good will be remembered. Same with the bad deeds. Life builds perceptions, a good life has a positive influence on the people associated and will be remembered, as will the bad deeds.

That is true. Most people will talk bad things when one is alive but once the person die, I think we feel quilty since the person is no longer there and start talking of the his or her positive side.

hi cearn, I do not agree..If I know a person and their past, its not only the good I think about because there could be an incident where we shared a bad/negative time and it was something that we never shared with anyone else...That would be something even tho bad that I would definately remember.. I would never speak bad about anyone deseased..because they are not here to defend themselves...But we have to remember that even tho they are deceased..they were still human being and I just don't think anybody expected then to have lived a perfect life.... Have a wonderful holiday....

There's a saying that goes, "If I am right, no one remembers. If I am, wrong no one forgets." It doesn't only happen to showbiz people but also to ordinary people like us We're lucky if the people surrounding us are understanding whenever we commit mistakes.
