In her diary, Anne Frank wrote that she believed “most people are good.” Do you agree with Anne? If so, why, and if not, why not? (Echoes and Reflections)
Yes I agree with Anne Frank because I believe that everybody is good because we all have a little good in us, there’s always that one part of us that want to do the right thing, the part of you that makes you second guess your choices. We all know right from wrong and yes we are all going to make mistakes but that doesn't mean we are bad people. When we chose bad choices it doesn't make us bad, just our actions which can be forgiven over time. When people commit a crime and are punished, most of the time those people learn from their mistakes and the good part of them opens up and it’s like they’re a whole new person. So no I don’t believe in bad people, only good people with bad decisions.
Alexa,
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more. I like your view of bad actions vs bad people. There are many reasons why folks choose something "bad" and we often don't know why.
I often wonder, when I study or read about the Holocaust, what it was like to be a young German student, hearing wonderful things about Hitler and how he was doing good works. What a hard place to be, when we look back.
Keep on writing! You have awesome insights!
Thank you for liking my writing! I wonder what it was like too because from everything I have heard, I have never read or seen anything from a German student's or even Germans' in general point of view. Also going off what you said about people choosing something bad and they don't know why I think that their past could have something to do with their decisions. Thanks again! I hope you keep reading additional posts!
ReplyDeleteI will Alexa....if you keep writing!
ReplyDeleteI do agree with what you have to say. I do think that there is only good people in the world too. Some people in the world don't make the best decisions but that doesn't make them a bad person. Just because someone makes a bad decision doesn't make them a bad person, they just need to be smarter with the choices they make in life. Everyone makes mistakes but you just have to learn from them and move on in life. You can't let people hold things against you. Some people have their own opinions on what choices people make but it's not their life so they shouldn't care about the decisions that other make. So I agree 100% with you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said, most people are good. Some people are really kind and honest and they help you and many people in tough situations. Many people say that some people are selfish and mean but maybe their just meeting the wrong kind of people. Their are some good down to earth people that honestly you will love. Of course everyone has a bad side but most people prefer not to take it out. Many people may say that it depends on how peoples mood are to know if their good or not and that's true, but their are some people that even if their in their worst of days they will be good and nice. So with that said I totally agree.
ReplyDeleteI think that every one isn't good but that doesn't mean that they can't be good. Some people have a hard time to be good because they are around people that are bad. If you choose who you hang around you can begin to act like that person or group of people. If your always with people who are bad then you will act like them. If you are with people who are good that you will more likely do good things. Most people are good but that doesn't mean that all people are. There is a group of people who aren't good but they can be good if they want to. Like the Nazis during the Holocaust. Some Nazis were bad and some were good. The good Nazis only did bad things because they were told to not because they wanted to. Some did want to do bad things but that doesn't mean that they could of chose to do good things. In my opinion not all people are bad and not all people are good, but the bad people can choose to do good things.
