Looking For Good People

[Glaringly]

Oh no, I don't intend to find the person here.
But I welcome suggestions of good people whom I could approach. Obviously I would need to know the names or at least read what they have to say.
I used to drink by the gallon, but I don't drink anymore. Perhaps that's the problem.

Be very honest with you.

The problem is not you want to find good men, but to find someone you can relate to and to enjoy a healthy conversation.

Obviously I would like to stay away from you in real life. Simply because you are just too straight. Not to be mistaken, you do provides good info, though repeatative, but it's the lack of the omm factor... to get people interested.

Shit, I just make myself a bad guy.

If you want to meet good people.. be one yourself first...

 

[zhihau]

Hence, you can say that I'm looking for a few good men (or women), not just as a potential counsellor, but also to convince me that the world is not just made up of horrible human beings.
Any suggestions?

bro,
look no further. no one can convince you of what the world is made up of

 

[SneeringTree]

But I stop short of saying that you are a "good person" after reading your posts about "Smoking". Hahaha!

Sometimes, you have to be bad to be good.

 

[krafty]

Are you the kind who will feel happy for your friends when they succeed in life? I was like that before but no longer! HA...Ha...

I can fill up several pages with the names of bad people, but I can barely complete half a page of a pocket sized notebook with the names of good people. I can actually think of 2 guys I knew from NSF days long ago, but as it has been really long, they may have turned bad.
One of my biggest regrets is not having kept in touch with these 2 chaps.
There's actually another guy I knew from reservist days as well, but unfortunately, I have lost touch with him as well.

From a few years back till now, I have been seriously looking around for a counsellor. Not a psychiatrist as such, but someone to help me realign my value systems and seek advice from. The first criteria is that he must be a "good person". I won't be able to pay much, so he must be inexpensive or perhaps even be willing to accept a meal as payment. No religous zealots please, although I am happy to listen to a religous person who doesn't impose his religion on me. Someone whom I don't know, and will hopefully not keep in touch with after the counselling sessions. (hence the question posed in this forum and not to people I know, some of whom may offer themselves as the counsellor)
Please don't ask me to approach my mp, as all politicians especially pappies, are by default, disqualified. Please also don't be a smart aleck and ask me to approach Reverend Shi or Pastor Rony.

I was actually considering approaching Mr Anthony Yeo sometime ago, and even though I didn't know him, was very sad when he passed away recently.

[moolightaffairs]

the fact is. if you are a good people, others will take advantage of you or treat you nastily. :oIo:

 

[besotted]

easy, if are willing to uproot and move to China

there are many wonderful people in China who are kind and not materialistic

here people are shallow, always talking about HDB, COE, ERP prices

in China people have more time to appreciate their awesome history

of course there are some youngsters corrupted by Western values but overall it is still a much better place than soulless Sinkiepore

For sure, we can discuss in this forum, but I make it a point never to meet or know anyone as far as possible in this forum.
And I have been in this forum (delphi and here) using the same nick since 1999.

Maybe let's start with this:
How do I realign my value systems? I find that I am gradually losing what I considered to be "good values" and am perhaps going down a slippery slope in terms of values.

Maybe you meant "righteous" people. There are some around, consider a blessing if you can become friends with them. I too, am also frustrated on whether I should just lose my morals so that I am able survive and do well in this moronic world especially in Singapore.

For me, I will start to have motto, those sentences that came across to you as righteous, for example these below are some good ones.

"The element necessary for evil to triumph is good men to do nothing."

"Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely".

Wow you want people to do so much for you, but you don't want to pay. It shows how good you are as a human being also.

Well sorry, no free lunch. Not for you ever. Next.

Good advice. Too bad people don't understand as ask of others but nothing of themselves.

That's why nobody wants to be mirror salesmen (they don't even dare try their own product so how could they persuade others to do the same?).

 

[Leongsam]

Actually I trust some Pastors from some mainstream churches anytime....just attend their sermons and find out more...

At least one of those pastors should have told you that you should "Do to others as you would have them do to you.".

In case you don't know, it's from Luke 6:31!

If you started a forum, I'm sure you'd want members to follow your editorial guidelines regarding content.

Well so do I. You have been banned (yet again) for another 7 days. Hopefully, you'll repent and your God will forgive you. :p

 

[Leongsam]

.....but also to convince me that the world is not just made up of horrible human beings.

The world IS made up of horrible human beings. Anyone who convinces you otherwise has to be a conman of the highest order.

The sooner you come to terms with the fact that humans are a nasty species the better.

You seem to be seeking affirmation of a myth that there is good in everyone. Surely it's a lot easier to embrace the reality of the situation and move on to deal with this sad fact of life.

Please do not approach your MP or any MIWs.

The feeling is mutual.

It depends on what you mean by "friends".

I have worked and lived in China.
Have you?

I would rather say "people who do right by others or people who do the right thing".
There are too many self righteous people around.

I don't think that there is good in everyone.
What I'm trying to find is good in someone.

I already said that they are by default, disqualified, didn't I?
