If you need a manual to be a good person, you aren't a good person.
Explaining this to my son's kindergarten teacher.
Just purge all the selfish 5 year olds now! They'll never learn if they haven't figured it out already.
So much for every state on the planet. Completely codified morality. Created and maintained by certified "bad people".

Yeah, what's wrong with wanting to be a good person? Are we going back to eugenics now?
If you think you can classify 'good' and 'bad' people in a oneliner you are incapable to deal with the complex nuances of our reality.
Oh, another oneliner.
Yes. At one side i liked the thought of making fun of my own statement by making it a oneliner itself.
And now you had a choice to decide respond to the content of what I said or the point out the form. Luckily you do not need a manual to decide which choice was good or bad 😉
a one liner implies simplicity, which is why they’re bad at capturing complex situations… you know what is simple however? saying “that’s complex”… a one liner that admits what you don’t know is simple without hiding complexity: the complexity is captured with the admission of the unknown
I agree.
Thank you for your comment. For me the broad statement that a manual is unnecessary or even a sign of being a bad person when you need one is way to simplistic.
Why have we defined constitutions, civil laws and declared what are to be considered to be human rights? Because it can be difficult to sense the border between protecting yourself, family, minority group or culture and doing actual harm to the rights and freedoms of people around us. To find the courage to truly listen and consider other opinions and beliefs and protecting the 'sanity of mind' by ignoring or denouncing the other.
Then it can help to have some guidelines. Either from religious sources, constitutions, humanistic principles or just knowledge from historic events and their impact.
Does it count if you are the one writing your own manual? It's fairly strict. I still need free time to master it.
It's surprisingly nuanced
It's the religion that classifies as good or bad, heaven or hell. We are talking about that, get a hint.
And yeah, generally, goodness has to come from the heart or it's selfishness. Even if you account for the complexities of the human mind.
Love each other. Even trans people? "Complex nuances"
This classification is idiotic! Objectively 'bad'. I classify this opinion as bad. Evil.
