why is it so easy to be bad?

Depend on what you mean by bad. If you go out of your way to break the rules, that's not easy at all. But if you just use every opportunity you get to rub people the wrong way, that's just entertaining.

Being poor and being bad is different. I dont know what others have made you or your country men to believe, but poor or not bad. If someone does something bad then alone they are bad, whether they are rich or poor or whatever... I think whether it is Americans or whomsoever it be, being poor is something very sad if they cant get essential things for life... All Americans can never be bad. I am not American but I certainly would say that it is not to be generalised. Probably there is some gap in people's understanding...I think it exists in most countries.

I have found that often it is our attitude and how we handle life that makes it seem so ''crappy''.  Your life may not seem so bad at all to someone else.

A philosopher from the 1800's said, Soren Kierkegaard, said that the nicer you are, the more that some people will despise you.  Kind of like the bigger the good, the bigger evil is attracted to it and then repelled by it.  \n\nBeing good may not always benefit you, but it will always benefit at least one other, so that makes it all worth it.

Things can always be worse. \nNo matter how bad a situation is, it could become worse. There is no limit to how bad things can get. Something that is limitless is without form. Things can also improve. However, there is a limit to how good things can become. Since things becoming better is limited, it is easier to focus on with clarity. This is way a positive outlook on life is much more constructive than a formless, vague, negative one.

I believe that there is good in everyone but sometime people take advantage of thier goodness and use it hurt others just because it is easier to do evil than good.  We should not get down when we see evil from others, after all we will all be judge of our works by God in the end and reap our rewards then.  Just keep doing good, God's keeping score.

most people are so easy to judge others because of their own hidden insecurites or inferiorities that they're trying to cover up.\n\nit's easier to 'feel better' about yourself if you elevate yourself to a particular level (i.e. making others look worse).\n\nhence, to judge others could be just another defense mechanism fostered by a particular environment/upbringing.\n\nnevertheless, there is never a good enough reason to be judgmental.\n\n:-)

Bad things happen to good and bad people both. It only seems like an injustice when it happens to a good person. Often, good people are people who have overcome bad circumstances.

Good and bad are such relative terms. Comparatively if they behave in such a way that's so bad like they enjoy killing and tormenting children or so good like they give away all thier possessions to feed the homeless you can be tipped off. But on a regular day to day nothing is ever as obvious. You gotta check some of your own standards. Do you notice if they act more good than bad in every day situations?

Yea, for the most part. We all have bad habits. I suppose the trick is keeping them hidden from those who are impressionable.

We're given the capability to learn behaviour and probably inherit behaviour to some extent.  The worst behaved people can have the best intentions and just not know any better, depend on how their lives have been lived up to that point.\n\nI would say the worst behaviour happens when a person is aware that what they are doing is morally wrong but do it anyway to satisfy some urge.  We tend not to blame people who are actually unaware they are doing something wrong.\n\nConversely, the best things come about when we fight our strongest urges and do what we think is the most morally acceptable thing.  We are just human and our most basic instinct is to please ourselves, so usually the actions we hold in the highest regard morally are those that help people and somehow sacrifice our own needs.\n\nThat being said, I think intentionally making other people suffer, lying and killing are about as bad as it gets.

Because we are all capable of being selfish, insecure, and defensive.  We are also capable of better, but not consistently enough to achieve world peace.

It's called sympathy which is a natural emotion.  We know how it feels to have pain.  So, it's only logical that we wouldn't want  to inflict that on others.  On the other hand.   Christians are taught that you're born bad which can make you bad.  You're also taught that god will forgive you for almost anything you do.  That can lead to bad behavior

It's the most ridiculous emotion that comes from fear of not being good enough.Be happy and celebrate who you are you can only be a first rate you and a second rate someone else.

Why not?  It seems easy, but a lot of us want to be too nice about it and end up making a big mess.  Also a lot of people who don't want someone their with also don't want that person with anyone else.  It's just nature for us.  I agree that people shouldn't do this but I know I've done it in the past and really wish I didn't.  It's done nothing but cause problems.  And in the end that person is hurt more by being led on than by losing "cold turkey".

b/c to every good thing there's a bad thing.that's how life is.everybody has good times and bad times.life is to overcome the obstacles they throw at you and if you can't then you lose.but if you can get up on your feet and hold on there until the end you'll be alright
