Why good people bad things?

Just some days ago, I bought this book about "Why good people do bad things"? I bought it becos the title just hit on me. Flipping thru it, it looks dry, more like a book full of philosophies or sociology and it certainly looks like a research thesis.

Then again, good ppl are what we think they are. What is the standard guide or code of conduct which will help to judge if a person is deem GOOD? Saving a life by killing another, is that good?

However, the focus of the entry is not about selling you this book but about why "good" people like me, did (or hope to do) bad things. Yes, I do bad things too. I am not good. I am good as you see as an overall.

In fact, base on that, all or most of us are good people. Bad people are only labeled as one when he or she is charged in front of the law. But actually there are even more bad ppl whom did lots of bad things which there is no single law in this world can charge and say hey! thats fucking wrong! So how do we sentence these ppl?

I try not to be a bad person by throwing useless pamphlets in the rubbish bin instead of accidentally allowing them to drop on the floor or be blown away by the strong wind but then if I drop them in the lift, I will not consider picking it up again. Am I a good or bad person?

I try to be a good person by telling someone there are cream on their face but then laughing out to myself when I turn away. Am I a good or bad person?

I wanna place a hateful person's pic under my piles of heavy books, spreading her damn blog print outs to everyone, plaster her pics all over the web. Am I bad?

I kill ants with my finger without sparing a thought for the immerse pain of death caused to it.

Does these make me a bad person? If so, then I am.
