Does This Make Me A Bad Person

Does lying make you a bad person?

Depends on who you're lying to, and what the lie is. If you're lying to your kids to protect their innocence, like how was I born, or what happened to our dog, or where is grandma? That is just good parenting. You'll tell them when the time is right.If you're lying to protect yourself from consequences or to dodge responsibility, then it is bad. If you had the courage to do a wrong thing, you should have the courage to own up to it. Be it with your parents, your partner, or your boss, doesn't matter. You have to own up to your deeds. People with no conscience get away with anything they do. Since you asked this question, you're not one of them, and you'll end up hurting everyone you know if you don't act fast. It does a lot more harm than you'd think. It destroys relationships and trust, and it would never be the same again.

Does being ambitious make me a bad person?

After the assassination Brutus goes out to the people to explain that the popular general’s ambition had to be countered. He quite genuinely praises Caesar’s qualities but that one thing – his ambition – could not be tolerated. ‘As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it, as he was valiant, I honour him; but, as he was ambitious, I slew him.’Ambition is rajasic. In Sankrit this word translates as mahatvakaankshaa. Mahatva +Akaankshaa. Desire to be great, successful, powerful. There is nothing wrong with this; every person of substance is ambitious in some way. Person, society, nation and even mankind as a whole has ambitions. Setting a foot on the moon is ambition, just as realising God is ambition. These fuel our efforts towards perfection. It’s only when ambition is immoderate, outrageous and vulgar and crosses limits that it’s detrimental.In Julius Caesar, as the assassins stand around the slain Caesar’s body, Brutus says, ‘ambition’s debt is paid.’You won’t become a bad person if you’re ambitious, just make sure you don’t become a Julius Caesar!

I want an abortion, does that make me a bad person?

No, it does not. You’re a fine person. I’m happy you exist.Wanting an abortion isn’t something you choose to do. It’s something that happens to you.So, with that in place, we’re still not sure whether or not you SHOULD get an abortion...First and foremost, there are laws in place that make it illegal for you to have an abortion if you’re late in your pregnancy. If you’re in a place where it’s illegal for you to have an abortion by now, I highly recommend that you forget about it.The combined risk for you, partly from breaking the law, partly from having to accept help from criminals instead of professional medical practitioners, and partly from not being offered psychological assistance with your decision (it’s a hard one) is much greater than the risk you take by just giving birth and giving the child up for adoption. Furthermore, if it’s illegal, it probably also means that you’re so late in your pregnancy that you should consider the ethical aspect. The legal limit is set in attempt to define when an unborn fetus is developed far enough to have some kind of “experience” of being alive (for instance, the ability to perceive pain). You should also respect that, even if you disagree.So that’s all in case an abortion would be illegal. If it’s legal, on the other hand... That means that society has carefully decided that it’s OK for you to choose that you’re not willing to give birth. It’s your body, and your choice. And we’re here to help you. It’s not an easy choice. We’re also here to help you with that.Best of luck, and hugs.
