BruisedCompassion
I would rather be Whole, than be good.
MrRandom314159
Is it more laudable for someone to do good deeds when that is their nature or to applaud someone for overcoming their violent nature?
alueron
Bravery is doing something supremely stupid and it somehow works in your favor
ensensu
I can be impulsive and good at the same time.
thiccpancake
Is this some kind of smart person joke
AlmostCertainlyNotPickles
LoopyMacGeorge of Earth... You have the ability to overcome great fear... Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps!
PotatoThunder
The number of people who have told me I shouldn't have morals I don't always live up to has been disappointing
TrombeOverride
"Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?" "That is the only time a man can be brave."
GetCurious
"You're gay Albus, we get it, we're fine with it."
TheYoungJaywalker
Too many smart words, my brain hurts

This is the key to sobriety. Very well said my friend. ?
ALoveLikePi
My..moral ideals eh? Well. Time to execute order 66
KillSteal
Speaking as someone directly related to mutaneer cannibal pirates, I can say safely the impulse dose not define you.
justanothergeek
Confidence also comes from knowing just enough to wildly overestimate your abilities. It's not always a good thing.
hardytardigrade
And maybe not being prejudiced isn't when you don't see differences, but when you recognize it and compensate for it in your own thoughts.
ThisWasntMyFirstChoice
Or in other words, these things are active, not passive
xtreampb
I think courage is doing what is wright even if you stand alone, and bravery is doing something in spite of fear, but still a wonderful post
xtreampb
doing what is *right.
rococosbasilisk
I thought you were using wright as a pun and thought it was hilarious
wherearemytesticles
THANK YOU FOR DARK MODE!
maijen0062000
To all those thoughts... yes
TheBlueMuppet
Being normal isnt the abscense of being elbow deep in a horse, its knowing how to post about it on imgur for continuous upvotes.
TheBlueMuppet
...in spite of character limits.
MrKomisiripala
Everyone has good and bad within them. One gets paid attention to more than the other.
NotWelcomehere
Virtue Ethics, certain characters of mind, body and spirit that make a person "better" that you CAN cultivate said characters to be good.
Styrr
diarhea is the absence of no-poop
Richter12x2
I don't think the goodness thing follows. You can be a good person by overcoming bad impulses, but it doesn't follow that everyone has them
Richter12x2
Besides, morals are subjective and personal, so behaving according to your moral ideals doesn't make you good either. Just good to you.
rococosbasilisk
Is being good an objective quality in a person? Or is it a developed skill and thus more subjective.
Richter12x2
You could make the argument that good is objective based off intent. Even if the action was subjectively incorrect was it intended to help?
rococosbasilisk
One could, you can’t. Unless you want to retract your opinion that morals are subjective. Otherwise these two statements are contradictory
Richter12x2
That's why the action is subjective but the intent is objective. If a 6 year old helps you paint and ruins the project...
DrRad
Do people not already know this?
TheRealDurdan
I agree with most of these comments but on the internet people are constantly trying to reinvent the wheel
ArtOzz
Nope. Its how stupid arrogant people do business - bravery without fear. And everyone has bad thoughts or impulses. The good choose goodness

TubOfButtah
I think its not something immediately obvious. In most movies and such the villian and the hero are very clear in their morals
barnwolf
You'd think so, but people get really violent about stuff like pedophiles.
iamthisguy247
It’s like you take the good. You take the bad. You take it all. And then what do you have? The facts of life. The facts of life.
lotsacreamlotsasugar
There’s a time you gotta grow and show you’re growing now, you know about the facts of life.

Great... now I got that song stuck in my head... thanks!
WAITAREYOUSERIOUSohyourenotokaythatscool
You peer inside yourself, try to take the things you love, and try to love the things you took
YourLordCthulhu
Dammit, I need to listen to that song again
epicfail331
Thanks, now that fucking song will be in my head all fucking day.

"What is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort"?
711isAnInsideJob
Would you rather live in the pouch of a giant kangaroo, or have a tiny kangaroo living in your own pouch?
PoopyProblem5
Both are good but to overcome your evil deserves more praise.
drabneb
Tjitso
Can't compare the two. The 1st assumes no challenge at all, and the 2nd assumes great strugle. Besides, people who are born good have... 1/2
Tjitso
their own struggles to stay good. This is al assuming anyone is born good or bad in the first place.
blueluck
Thank you! I scrolled down to say exactly that.
CannibalisticVegan
Yes.
effarydi
Or to,be born good but succumb to evil because you were corrupted by imgur
NotaCPA
First time I decided to do coke off a hookers ass was because of imgur.
TresusIbor
Was about to come down here and post this.
willzabend
The latter makes a great story/movie plot, whereas the former is a delusion of many religion
eelnavarT
You can be philosophical all you want parthunax i still need that soul

eriksarcasm
Some might say we're all born evil and learn to overcome our nature. Some of us do better at it than others.
LetMeSeeMyKids
What's better, to overcome alcoholism or to never let it develop to that stage to begin with?
BarryAllensSole
You only get celebrated for it if you overcome it.
ReverendAurora
I appreciate how odd this will sound, but if you never develop it, you never get to fight it. You would learn a lot about
ReverendAurora
yourself if you did. But don't. I'm pretty confident that it's not worth learning given the damage.
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
Why bother with alcoholism when there's perfectly good heroin addiction right over here?
ReverendAurora
I'm fairly confident you can learn a lot of different shit from any addiction. But I feel the more you learn the worse it'll be for you.
Alenelvans
Parthunax did it first.
disemboweled
The Wizard of Oz did it first
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Did you know he was voiced by the same guy that does Mario's voice?

"Which is better, to be born good, or to overcome one's evil nature through great effort?"
OmniXBro
Is that Drizzt?
TheSilentOod
PookyButt
I came here to say that. I'm glad you best me to it so I didn't have to figure out how to spell parthunax
LetMeSeeMyKids
Too bad you didn't have the time to learn how to spell 'beat'
RawDogginChixSince2000Six
That was an obvious auto correct error. Quit trying so hard
LetMeSeeMyKids
It was a good zinger. You guys don't know comedy
