Lisa asked, Do you think there is one model, one epitome, to look up to that is the definition of what 'good' should be?
My answer is decidedly no. Everybody has flaws, so there isn’t one perfect being that people can look up to. Furthermore, everybody’s definition of what consists of a “good” person is different.
To a religious Christian, a “good” person would be a morally perfect being that does not drink, do drugs, or have premarital sex. As I said before, there is no such thing as a perfect being, and I don’t think people who drink or do drugs or have premarital sex are “bad” just because of that. In the German culture, drinking is a popular pastime. The Native Americans believe in using hallucinogens to be closer to their gods. The hippies believed in free love.
In some places in the Middle East, it is considered “good” to throw acid on a woman’s face if she does not put on a veil. Men who do it are praised there, while people in America would never think that was an acceptable thing to do. This is just another example of how people can disagree on what makes up a “good” person.
My question in response is, Who do you consider a “good” person to look up to and why?
