Bad is living for values other than those which you hold dear. It's living impulsively, emotionally, without thinking or analysing. It's not using the brain and refusing to think. I.E/ Believing in something without proof, like religion.

However, other people would disagree with you. You might think such people bad, and they might reciprocate in thinking you are the one that's bad. It's definitely not absolute.

So, who decides? You can define your own "good" and "bad," but I agree with the article that's mostly just to label others. If so, why not just dump that and do what works for you?
