How can you tell the difference between a good person and a bad person?

By observation of the chooses that they make and how they treat other people, especially people close to them. A person could be really nice, but beat his wife behind closed doors. Or a person could be sour and cranky, but spend time helping at-risk teens. Everyone has good and bad in them, some more than others.

Because good people tend to see the good in others and other people realise this and play them like a fool.

choose the one you like the best. Make a list of the positives and negatives about both of them... and then compare.

Explore the person they are, how they relate to people. Do they judge them, do they forgive them.\nSetting principles and sticking to them.\nHelping when needed, not asking why sometimes, and questioning yourself on a regular basis and learning from it.\nWe can all help people, but we cant if we dont help ourselves.

Unfortunately, yes.  Good and Evil are human attributes, so an evil person is one of us, as much as we'd like to disown him.

If all things are from God, than what evil is there aside from what the human mind perceives. \n\nGood and Bad, are like positive and negative energy. In harmony and in balance, these entities are useful forces. When they become out of balance and one over shadows the other, we sometimes fail to understand and our perception becomes distorted and refer to it as, evil.

If you mean by good, you want to find people who don't do wrong, that's easy.  I went out all my life with good friends.  I refused to associate with bad people.  Invite someone you think would be a good friend to go shopping with you or invite them to your house.  You'll be able to tell right away after talking to this person if they are for you.  If they smoke, drink or talk about sex all the time, they can't be too good of a person.  When I was young, I went roller skating with a friend only to see her talking with one boy after another and ignoring me.  I knew she wasn't going to be a good friend so I dropped her right away and went out with her cousin.  We became best friends.

A good friend is someone who believes in you and supports you.  A good friend is someone who helps you when you're right and tells you when you're wrong.  A good friend is someone who knows the value of friendship and treasures it.  A good friend is someone who will stick by you, through the good times and the bad.  A good friend is someone who is honest with you.  A good friend is there to give a shoulder to cry on whenever it is needed and to lend an understanding  ear whenever it is needed.  A good friend cares.  A good friend does not help you to do wrong but encourages you to do right.  I could go on and on but I think i've made my point.

Is man good? You are knowledgable. I have seen your questions and replies....you seem to have a head on your shoulders. So. Like law regarding entropy, is man born going from good to better, or is man born and molded, pushed, punished, terrorized, into beinf what we call morally acceptable? I, as an opinion, can not believe in an'inherent goodness' in man. I just look at a child who is becoming self aware, and the first things learned are "NO!", screaming for attention, taking toys from others...doing everything we have to teach them not to do. They do not come out and learn politeness and giving, first. They are changed into that.

From the way the question is worded, I would have to say that person A seems to be the better person since he has learned will power.  This isn't something easily done.  It at least shows that he's intelligent.  Person B sounds like Forrest Gump.\n\nIf you're asking which person has the higher moral value...well, you'll never know which of the two is better in that context until person B has an evil thought.  It is then, and only then, will you know if person B has the will power not to act on his evil thought.  However, if your hypothetical person B can never get an evil thought, then person B is the better one since he's all good.

Tough question...In my opinion, a good person is someone who treats people fairly, not necessarily good, but how they would want to be treated in any situation.  I also appreciate someone who will tell me like it is and not blow sunshine up my butt.  I guess they would have to be morally correct as well.

By determining what a person reads, where they shop and things of that sort the police can pretty much find out what a person is like and where best to catch them with the information they gather from that persons property (belongings).  The type of clothing the person wears is also a good factor in determining their character. The kinds of foods they eat would be another. A lot can be learned about an individual simply by studying their habits.

One does bad and one supports them doing it?

Good!!! always win, no matter what the obstacle or problem. Good is powerful and honest from the beginning, evil has to tempt you or disguise itself to be powerful when deep down it is really not. Good has love on it side, what is more powerful than that.

baby, some people are just plain mean. they are not good people and you should not take their character flaws personally. try not to take it to heart. ignore them if possible. some people outgrow meanness and see the error of their ways and become good people, others, i'm sorry to say, leave this world as mean as the lived. don't be one of them! be one of the good guys. hang in there. you'll end up the better person.
