What's your definition of a good person? Or a bad one?

Do you think that there's a continuum between "good" and "bad," or is there a definite line between one and the other?

to me, someone i'd like to know and would feel great admiration towards was someone who realized their potential to be both 'good' and 'bad'... in that we fluctuate in the spectrum of human feelings and motivations, our drive for self-interest will never let us become objectively isolated in our decision making process, and this as well is done for good and bad reasons. but to me, an admirable person, is someone who is aware of their situation and circumstances in life, aware of their tendencies, their flaws, their strengths, and tries to find balance and does not hide from his or her own limitations.
