I do know that line.
I'm trying to think if I remember it, but no, I don't believe in good and bad people.
The definition for myself for a long time is,
Are you trying?
Are you trying to be kind?
Are you trying to be generous?
Are you trying to make the world more beautiful?
Are you trying to care for yourself and those around you?
And I say trying because I have experiences of times in my life where I tried to be kind and I couldn't be.
Like I couldn't get there, whether it was, I mean, when I was sick with Lyme disease and I was so sick and all these bugs in my brain, like my anger response was so quick.
And I also have people in my life who have,
particular mental illnesses where they try to not be snappy and they cannot.
Or I'll see people in line in the grocery store and they just start screaming at the cashier.
And I am not someone who's willing to say that's a bad person.
I almost always assume there's pain there.
I don't think there are many weapons that are more dangerous than our wounds.
And I
For me, I want the people in my life to be people who are committed to health and people who are committed to the health of our world and improving it.
But in regards to good and bad people, I think no.
But that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of horrific shit going on.
