"Do You Feel Good?"

I'm not speaking in terms of health.
What i'm interested in is whether people think of themselves as either good or bad. Not how you act but how you feel.
Does giving up your seat on the bus to a pensioner make you feel good or do you consider sweeping their legs out from under them as you get up to move?
Do you look out your window and praise the innoncence of the kids outside or see the next generation of yobs?
When something crappy happens, do you feel like you deserve it or do you question why stuff happens to you when you feel you're a good person?
Are you comfortable in how you or feel or do you rebel against it or wish you could be nicer/nastier?
Do you feel one way and act the other? If so why?
And lastly, are you happy?

they are right,..

bring me the finest teas known to humanity.. aromatic tastes from India.. sweetly fragrant teas from the west, red berry indulgence from Australia, beautifully delicate teas from china, sternly sincere tea from Russia and some of that hard water ready stuff that descales your tummy from Great Britain.

and rich tea or thin arrow root while your at it.

And I submit one Mr Thunder to be our test experiment, don't worry Mr Thunder, I'm sure Vashers will build you a ruby encrusted coffin :)

You could ask her for an endless supply of tea to carry out your experiment.

You could have asked for... anything.

Yes

It's too grey to ask if someone is Good or Bad, really. Maybe a kid can answer this, but as an adult you have so many decisions and moral questions related to that seemingly simple statement.

Your own moral code and ethics will come in to whether you consider yourself 'bad' or 'good' and generally every situation can have a different outcome, so how do you measure yourself throughout the day, week, month or even lifetime?

Maybe the question should be "Do you think of yourself as someone who has a good set of morals and sticks to them?" or "Do you believe you are generally a good member of society?"

Not sure good of you to ask though... or were you thinking i'll ask them then use their words to smite their futile existence like the grain of a doomed field.

i try to be a good person, but still end up loathing myself when it leads me to do things i later consider not to be so clever.

depends which part of me is running the show at any given time really.

I quite often find myself smiling and the slow old dear walking in front of me, when I'm actually thinking "come on you silly old bat, hurry up." Same with fat people, if I'm honest.

Does it matter what I'm thinking? The fact is I'm being polite. Or am I lying to everyone around me when I say "don't worry" to the woman who's child is standing in the middle of the shop aisle in everyones way?
