good/bad

It's not useful or accurate to see people as good or bad, whether ourselves or someone else. It's more true to see events/circumstances and responses. We can work out our feelings and responses without personalizing or considering humans as fundamentally different from one another.

Since that which is in others is also in us, when we condemn others we condemn ourselves and when we condemn ourselves we condemn others. This generates hostility and violence the world over, and it all stems from a lack of self awareness and acceptance. Even labelling someone as good can be harmful since it can easily lead to unrealistic expectations.

Either way, our judgement is impaired and partial since we've created divides where there are really degrees. If we understand and accept that we're all capable of both good and bad along with the relativity of such labels depending on context, we stop inflating/diminishing ourselves and others and can respond to situations with clarity.
