Because in order to live in a society we have to get along, As a group we tends to shun bad behavior and banish the bad ones. And as societle beings we tend to want to be with other people.
The problem kind of takes care of itself. Posted by Max Headroom

Because we get what we give. Those cliches we learn are cliches for a reason. What goes around comes around. And I agree with Max. If we want good people in our lives we have to be good too.

Good and Bad. This is simply. What ever you do, weather good or bad, its going to be bad for somepeople and good for others. Good for friens and Bad for foes. Life is competition either you do good for your family now or let other do well for his.

Then i ask you "What is good and bad?"
From my point of view "good" and "bad" are just words that the human society invented to guide the people to peacefull community. Killing Bad, Helping those who need Good. Why people choose to be good? My answer: they dont... Why? Because we only help (for pity, beneficts,among others) as long it doesnt bring problems towards us... Of course you can say that some people do in fact help the others in trouble even though it will bring consequences to them. Posted by Nuno Gon�alves

Good and Bad are what you make them and everything was given a name by us and things not of science could have only been invented by man(as the species). Good is what ever helps your self at the moment. Even if you seem wrong to some other people you are still doing good in your mind. Are you refering to goverment laws that are ther to protect us sometimes and incarcelete us other times

One of the prime goals of the ancient philosophers was to come up with ways to recognize what is good.. They came up with things like "To serve is the ultimate good"
There has been many arguments of what is defined as good or bad. Many say what is good for some is not good for all. I disagree. When we do somthing good, we feel good. when we do something bad our heart tells us that it not good. Even if our mind tries to convince and rationalize our act. Like the saying goes listen to your heart. I think this is the same for all healthy humans. Posted by Max Headroom

"When we do somthing good, we feel good.when we do something bad our heart tells us that it not good" by Max
Srry but totally disagree with you... Because the concept of good and bad changes from person to person. example: My concept of good may be different from yours and that difference may interfere with both our with the way we live of our lives an extreme example: A psycopath feels need to kill people and feels good when he does it. So by your definetion he's not doing anything wrong at all is making a great thing. Posted by Nuno Gon�alves
