Who Decides A Person is Good or Bad?

Often we hear people declaring, he is good, he is bad, he is like this, he is like that, he did this, he did that. They seem to have opinion about just anyone and everyone, irrespective of how the person in particular is in reality. Are we right in doing so? If yes, who decides who is good or bad? And on what basis ?

Good and Bad are such subjective definitions. Someone who is very good to me may be not-so-good for someone else and vice-versa. So are we right in judging people merely on basis of their behavior towards us or someone else in particular? What should be our criterions for categorizing people into so-called good and bad slots? Who does it benefit and how? What is the need?

It is really not logical to label a person as good or bad. since good and bad are not two different things. They are the two aspects of same thing. Good and bad dwells in each person together. when there is good dominating over bad, he is a different person; and when bad dominates over good, he is a different person. Nice post. Pls do read my post on "Duality of Good and Bad."

the real root cuse of all evil and all trouble in this world is that everything in it is subject to perception .. so the real question is .. do i have the right to impose my perception over yours and should you let my perception influence yours..?
