I read the dialogue Friendship by Plato and it made me think a lot especially since the father of the person in the dialogue was Democrates, the inventor of our atomic theory. The dialogue was about what attracts friendship good, evil, or neutral people. I thought this was very interesting because if taken metaphorically as a stance on atomic theory, good would be attracted strongly to bad, neutral would be attracted with a slight charge to both good and bad, bad would repell bad and good would repell good.
Applying this philosophy to life is hard if not impossible because there is no way to objectively judge myself as either good or bad and there is a lot of gray area in between. I know I have done bad things and made poor decisions at times, but I generally try to be as good of a person as I can be to the people around me.
My friendships tend to focus on good people and neutral people. I am definitely attracted romantically to bad people and neutral people. I would say this probably makes me a good person because I am not attracted to good people as much as the bad, but it’s all relative anyways so it is not worth it to judge others.
