Looking at the best or worst in people

Ammon Stevens, Staff Writer

In our everyday lives, we constantly come into contact with other people. In our school, we have large classes where we have to interact with each other. Everyone makes mistakes and has their bad sides. It is up to yourself whether you will judge someone for their  good or bad side. Looking for the good in someone a person 100% of the time is ideal, but is not realistic.

I would like to say that I personally try look for the good in people as much as possible, but it definitely does get hard. There are people who make it hard to look or think that there is good in them, but that is when you have to look harder. You also have to take your personal good and bad sides into account so that you keep your own worst side in mind when looking at someone’s best and worst side since you don’t want people to only look at your worst. You have to tune out the worst part to look for the best part.

I think that if we looked at the best in people, we would treat each other with more kindness. It is extremely easy to write people off when you see their bad side, but if you take the time to search for their best side, it would reveal how amazing each and every one of us really is. Us as a human race would be more loving and patient with one another.
