Sometimes when people do nasty things to us we label them as “bad” people.
Some people even label them with negative names like idiot and moron as a way of expressing anger, which is actually unhealthy.
We often label our friends, relatives and people who are nice to us as “good”
Therefore people in our lives are divided into “good” and “bad”
and such labels are being attached firmly in the minds of many people.
That is an illusion of life
Many people live in the world of labels.
“good” and “bad” do not really exist.
They are just a part of the same spectrum at different poles.
There is no good or bad people.
“Good” people might one day change to “bad” people
and “bad” people might choose to repent and become “good” people
so who are we to judge people and put labels?
People will change.
What labels people are carrying are not important.
What is important is the choice people make in the now.
Instead of attaching to labels,
choose to do good deeds in the now
think and feel positively all the time.
There is no point in labeling people.
People will change as time goes by.
Let go the attachment towards labels and judgments that you have put on others.
Hmm, can use the labels - wordy, emotional, judgemental, boring - to describe some bloggers or not?

Yes there should be no classification of good and evil (bad) people. Everyone is born with a built-in recognition of your own goodness and an inner recognition of your rightness in the universe. We are a cooperative species and a loving one.
Any misunderstandings, crimes, and atrocities, real as they are, are seldom committed out of any intent to be evil, but because of severe misinterpretations about the nature of good, and the means that can be taken towards its actualization.
Our ideas of good and evil are highly important for instance. Few can escape putting value judgments in these areas.
Such judgments are simplistic, and ignore the great range of human motivation and experience. If you are bound and determined that “GOD” creates only good people, and then any physical deficiency, or illness or deformity becomes an affront to your belief, threatens it and makes you angry or resentful.
