[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did (do), and I think that anyone who says that they don’t is lying.  For one thing, there are way too many a-holes out there, and most of them have friends and families.  There are some truly saintly people who’ve never hurt anyone in their lives, but they also tend to be the kind to easily find some humanity in even the worst human beings, so they have those connections too.[/quote]

Connected is not inner circle friendship, we all have acquaintances that are questionable, but if you call them a friend then you are either setting yourself up or doing bad things yourself.    We have all done bad things in our life at some point and we all have limits on the level of transgressions that we would consider.

Example- I have made a lot of mistakes in life, but cheating on my spouse is a line I would never cross.  If my friend sleeps with married women or cheats on their spouse, I know that he can likely justify anything behavior if it suits him in the moment.  We could not be transparent or honest with each other, so the trust required for friendship wouldn’t exist.  He justifies bad behavior to make it right, so the chance that he could justify betraying me is exponentially higher than someone morally compatible with me.

Good people have done bad things, but they don’t do bad things.  Once they realize their actions are bad, they stop them to see themselves as good again.  People can learn from their mistakes and change, but it requires a lot of work and until the work is done neither of us would have much interest in being more than casual acquaintances.  [/quote]
