Is it always good to be the 'better person' in a situation?

s.b.f —

The question is in the title.

Can't make up my mind.

- Is it always good to be the 'better person' in a situation, however negative the consequences of your decision may make you feel? .

- Are we allowed to sometimes be immature with decisions just because we feel like it?

- Also, who's the most twisted person you've met? And why? If it's someone on TheRevival, please anonymise (we don't want any tension, do we?).

Your answers can be backed up with Islamic or moral justifications. I can see the answer to the second question being....'well, what do you think?'

why did this topic die.

ok, i feel some cultural significance in this, can you just clear up the meaning of "better person in a situation" pleasE?

do you mean, being the goody goody and doing the "right"/"legal" thing (im guessing this also includes (in some cases) the "religious" thing)? why would that make you feel bad?

i think, in my opinion, that if its got no consequences on other people. (if its just for you) then be selfish sometimes. and if its something to do with religiousness then its between you and God and thats something me or anyone else cant come in between.

if it will affect someone else somehow, then being the goody goody might be helpful, (im going to stop here, i want you to clear up the bit about how this could ever make you bad)
