Do you prefer to see the good in people? - Page 2 - TalkNewJersey.net

Definitely I would like to see the basic goodness in human nature. But as a realist rather than an idealist, I expect baser instincts to take over in majority of circumstances.

I deal with people that annoy me every day, on a regular basis in life. I am FORCED to see the good within them or thus suffer 100 times more. It's not that I can't defend myself, but I know that I need to be tolerant. And it has worked for me. People become more accepting of you as you are to them if you don't decide to strike back and cause a grudge. That is, unless they deeply hate you for some reason.

Becuase of this, I perfer to see the good in people first. I met lots of people that showed me their "bad" side first and maybe it was that they were having a bad day. I later became friends wit these people b/c they had a good side. Moral of the story: Don't judge to quickly. Always give people a shot.
