You hear people say this phrase all the time. “Oh he messed up, but he’s a good person.”
only because they don’t want to be “gossipy” or they don’t want to sound negative. As soon as someone says “he is a good person, but” I know there is something bad coming. If someone is messed up, they are messed up and that is what is happening right now, so what if underneath they are really a good person, I say, so what?
Good means the positives are way better than the negatives, it also means: no purposeful harm. If you spit in your boss’s coffee pot, you are not a good person, you are a person who thinks that being upset allows you to cause harm to others, that is not a good way to think.
