Quote by John Bradshaw

I define a 'good person' as somebody who is fully conscious of their own limitations. They know their strengths, but they also know their 'shadow' - they know their weaknesses. In other words, they understand that there is no good without bad. Good and evil are really one, but we have broken them up in our consciousness. We polarize them.


I define a 'good person' as somebody who is fully conscious

Summary

This quote suggests that being a 'good person' entails being self-aware and recognizing both one's strengths and weaknesses. The person described understands that goodness cannot exist without acknowledging and accepting their flaws or 'shadow.' It highlights the idea that good and evil are essentially interconnected, but human consciousness has segregated them. By encompassing this understanding, individuals can strive towards a more balanced and authentic version of themselves.
