Today,

I am proposing a question for you guys, What makes a person good? Is a person considered a good person by their interactions with others or is it their thoughts that make them a good person? Excluding the type of people who walk old ladies across the street, help out an elderly neighbor, or do tons of volunteering work. Can a person be considered as kind by how they don't say  mean things to the people around them, yet have scheming thoughts? Those people are the ones who do not ever say anything somewhat mean about someone else, even though they might be thinking about it on the inside. Those are the people who will just do things just because. Just because it's what they are supposed to do, not because its what they feel. Can those people be considered as good people? They don't ever hurt the people around them and it's almost like they are the "nicest" or "sweetest" people on earth, for they will never say anything mean about you- whether it may be true or not. But... they aren't truthful. They might be having the meanest thoughts once they are away from you, even though they keep it to themselves. So.. is that good or not?
And- What about the other type of people, the type that don't hold back their opinions whether it is nice or not. They seemingly blurt out their true opinions with a clear conscious. These people (me) don't ever mean any harm, yet they bring some unknowingly. The main con to these type of people is that a lot of the time they might bring some tension or awkward feelings although they had a good intention in mind. Particularly these type of people, do these things with a clear conscious solely because they mean well, and they are convinced that its okay. They don't realize the smaller details of what might happen, they just see that 'its nothing' because their whole point is to make sure you are aware of whatever it is that they're telling you. Yes, these are the more insensitive type of people, who get things done.  These are the people who see the bigger picture who do not want you to have the short end of the stick, and that is why they do the things that they do. Meanwhile, the Type A person would not even care about what happens to you at the end of the game, all they know is that throughout the course of the game you didn't give them any consequences. 

In other words there are the people who do not yield any harsh feelings towards you because they feel that it is the right thing to do, and there are other people who will censor their true thoughts towards you just so that there will be no trouble. As a Type B person, I know for a fact that my opinions and thoughts have caused many misunderstandings and harsh feelings towards me by other people, but I've never mind. I started the game with a good intention in mind and even though people misinterpret that, its their loss. I am completely fine because I never have meant to do any harm and I feel that in that case, its perfectly fine. But what do you think? Forget about me, really. What do you think? Are people who never do bad actions, yet may have bad thoughts be considered a good person- because afterall, they have never done anything wrong, or do people who sometimes might do the wrong things- but didn't mean to be considered good people?
