Good/Bad

I do not believe that there are bad people.  Alternatively, I believe that there are good people.  By "good", I mean, with beneficial intentions.  Maybe it's a lie that I tell myself, for ignorance is bliss, but I don't think that this is it.  I do believe that all people are good.

A common example might be: would Hitler be considered "bad"?  While I don't consider his actions during the Holocaust "good", I don't believe that he was a "bad" person, though I consider his actions very "bad".

I prefer to be able to find harmony with all people.  I don't think that a person can inherently be bad, or become bad.  All things considered, this doesn't make me more trusting of people in general, nor does it mean that I like all people.  It means that I do not see any person as "bad".  This also means that I do not hate anyone.  I dislike/disappointed/disgusted by many actions of people, but I don't hate anyone.  No one is "bad" to me.
