Does anyone else hate all that is bad?

Post Reply New Topic

I have an affliction, an infinity for pseudo righteousness.
I am not particularly religious but find that i hate all things that are bad.
For example, I have always hated lying and liars, stealing and thieves, infidelity / adultery, slander, sadism, bullying and injustice.

I feel that it is an affliction in today's world, where the laws of society may be based on justice, fairness and honesty but the way people are is often the complete opposite. Where people who succeed in life are often not righteous but corrupt and criminal, even those who hold high positions in business, politics and criminal courts of law.

Perhaps i am child like or simplistic in my perception of the world of human interaction but i can not bring it in myself to accept that the right way is anything but how i see it.

I have an affinity for reggae and rastafari because the ideals are the same, even if based on biblical teachings.
Is there anyone out there who is also as is? Or am I the only one who lives on this version of the wrong planet of pseudo righteousness?

#note:
Ironically, through my life, when i come up against people of sadism, dishonesty, bullying and corruption. They usually paint me as the one who lies and who is a bully, because i object so strongly to their lies, theft, adultery and sadism. This, i guess is their nature, the nature of dishonesty, the fief, the adulterer, the bully and the sadist. Or should i say the way of the criminal. Even if the criminal is a policeman and charges me with false charges. I remain righteous. For i refuse to break the code of righteousness regardless of their corruption.

I sort of feel this way too. Even if someone acts charming if I know they are a bad person then I usually don't like them very much and feel even more put off by the fakeness. It seems like with a lot of people are ok with someone who is mean and manipulative as long as they have confidence and good social skills and then being well-liked causes them to get away with doing horrible things.

I find myself in complete agreement with the above posts.

It's as if we see the long term effects of actions, it's always bad, lying and stealing, all the other horrible things listed, if you allow these then your people are doomed, doomed I tells ye.

It's not the same as being a Social Justice Warrior, it's not to do with personal feelings or passing judgement, it's just that some things are just wrong, plain and simple wrong.

I feel quite similar to both of you, actually.

I was just thinking today how wonderful it would be if the world were more like Mayberry from the Andy Griffith show or Mister Roger's Neighborhood. Though not perfect, those two places have always given me a feeling of comfort.

I despise corruption, cruelty and all the unethical, unkind things people do to get "ahead" in life. I'm incapable of understanding why money is so important to some people that they'll walk all over others to get more of it. I want enough to live and enjoy a few luxuries, and that's good enough for me.

At the same time, I'm also painfully aware that some of the bad things I see in others I can find buried in myself. Not so much the stuff I listed above, but there are other areas where I am prone to hypocrisy and wrongdoing, and I hate those qualities in myself as much as I hate them in others. I'm not as virtuous as I want to see myself.

As a confessing Reformed Christian ("Calvinist"), the very first point of the so-called TULIP confession is Total Depravity - meaning that all human beings (whether they acknowledge it or not) are hostile to our Creator. It doesn't mean that we're all as bad as we could possibly be on an individual level, but with respect to our standing before God, we are all born spiritually dead and are corrupt to varying degrees.

Of course, that's not a popular view today, even among many professing evangelicals. But to me, it's one of the most empirically verifiable aspects of my faith. I see it in others, and I see it in myself.

I liked "The Andy Griffith Show."

I thought Mr. Rogers was sort of screwy in some vague way when I was a kid. Later on, though, I thought he was okay.

I also feel the same way.

Hate all, that is bad? I figure, most sane people do.

i hate that anything bad has to exist (i.e. my existence), but i get some dark pleasure out of hearing about other people's suffering and misery now.
if there was nothing bad in the world except for my own sad life then i would feel worse.

I agree completely. I hate lying, cheating, stealing, conniving and cruelty.
