Like @theprincelyx tweeted recently, People are people. People with choices, with interests, with decisions, with inclinations, with beliefs and goals. These things shape how people behave. The "good person" complex has become mythical. We shouldn't delude ourselves from reality

I have learnt to live with the reality of human nature.
There are thieves, liars, cheats, murderers, criminals, sycophants, pedophiles, the trustworthy, the greedy name it; because there are humans. As long as humans exist, these qualities will remain existential with them.

You can only be good if you believe it is best or in your interest to be good, if you don't consider it in your best interest to be good, you will be bad no doubt. People act on these factors I mentioned earlier. Their beliefs, inclinations, choices mold the ways they resonate

with others.
No one is inherently evil. It doesn't run in the genome sequence of any family or lineage. If we are inherently good, why do we nurture bad feelings too? I am entrusted to sharing money amongst a group of people which is right but why do I get the thought of spending

the money for myself and not for the intended purpose? It is because we all have the angelic and dark flanks and whichever flank we decide to stride on, determines if we will be tagged good/bad. There's always a dark side to everyone.

If the "good people" complex exists, good people should harbor good thoughts only and no modicum of evil at all and if the "bad people" complex exists too, bad people should shelter bad thoughts only without a sprinkle of good at all.

We might have all encountered that one individual who we have described as exceptionally calm or good in social settings only for this same individual to perpetrate an act so nasty that we find it difficult to associate that act with this individual in question.

Sometimes, we are that individual. As surprising as it may seem, it is not entirely shocking.
This just further reinforces the fact that being good or bad is not congenital. It is a choice. You can't tell me someone who points a firearm at another person to end a life illegally

which is bad didn't get a "This is wrong" thought in his head even if it was for a split-second. Observe yourself when you are about to do something wrong no matter how comfortable you are with doing it over time, there's always this side telling you:

"This is wrong fam, on all levels" but the choice to align with the dark flank is entirely on you. Being good/bad is an individual conclusion which is why I always hold people to account for their actions. You chose to do it dear. You weren't muzzled to do it.

That is why when someone does good to you, there's no such thing as a "good person" rather they chose to be good. Don't delude yourself from the reality that if that same person who once did you good has a reason to put your head on a spike, they won't. Best believe they will.

Good/bad is a choice. We can be outright nasty and horrible if the need arises except if one decides to override the feeling. You see that capacity for evil, everyone possesses it.

Keeping the beast on a leash is a personal choice which is why when people are good to you, appreciate it because to be entirely wicked and vicious costs as much as what being good costs.

Plus don't let anybody justify any misdeed done to you by saying "That is how I'm built", " I am cancer, that's how we do", "I am a Sagittarius, it is how we were made".

No, you weren't built for sh**t, you chose to do it. It is not genetic, it is a choice. People should be accountable for their actions.

If I have skidded away from the point, the crux is that people are people and that good/bad is a choice.
