In our harsh world, where the life of most people is like an endless struggle for survival, and where everyone tries to take the best place, often in an unfair way, it is very difficult to remain a good person. In general, for many of us this is given with great difficulty, especially if one has to spend a lot of time on his own survival. And yet, some part of our soul or mind wants us to remain good people. The only question is, what does it mean to be a good person? And how to become one? There are not many good people, but we meet them every day. These are our parents, from whom we learn this life. Our teachers, constantly do not lose faith in us. Our friends, our actions and mistakes, all this helps us to become better (Riggio). And how nice to hear: "This is a good person."
Respect and sincerity Makes you a good Person
Each of you probably has a definition of a good person, depending on what society you live in, but in our case, a good person is a person who cares about others, who care about the fate of people in difficulties. A good person readily supports other people, and respects everyone, regardless of their social status. A good person helps other people not for the sake of gratitude or encouragement, but at the behest of the soul, this is the way of his self-expression. Usually a good person is a person who helps other people. Perhaps this is actually the case, and perhaps not. Maybe he does it only to seem good, and not from a pure heart. A really good person does not envy anyone, does not condemn anyone, forgives offenses, is not vindictive and always truthful with other people.
For a good person, the people around him are good. He respects people and perceives them as they really are. He does not consider himself to be intelligent, but all others are stupid. A good person does not try to change anyone, to re-educate. After all, all people are completely different, a person can be helped by advice, suggesting if he is doing something wrong, but you cannot push and impose your opinion. A good person respects not only other people, but also the world around him (Williard). He knows that you need to protect nature and its wealth. The earth is a single organism, there are bacteria in it that destroy it. Bad people are just such bacteria, they are sowing evil on our planet. Every person chooses his own way, he decides to be bad or good and eventually gets everything that deserves from life.
In my understanding, a "good person" is a person who has been able to cultivate high moral qualities, humanity and sincerity. For example, in my life, good people prevail bad people. My wonderful parents, teachers from kindergarten, teachers are a worthy example for me. Each of them took an active part in my upbringing, influenced the erudition, character and attitude towards others, people around me. But this is not enough for everyone to consider somebody a good person and respect him.
A good person should be good for everyone, not just for his family and loved ones, and despise others ( Awosika). This is a friend - who is able to come and help you at any time of the day, sincerely rejoice over you, and not ominously envy and discourage success. Parents who advise their adult children something, but do not interfere and impose their point of view. They are an example for children, and not an object of contempt and shame. Children who respect and treat elderly parents in every possible way, and do not run away from home, on reaching adulthood, and not forgetting about mom and dad.
The concept of "good person" means being a good person, regardless of the circumstances and situations with respect to surrounding people, nature, state, etc(Tartaglia).Good person does only those things for which he will not be ashamed later. He is brought up so that both the soul and thoughts are bright, which this person adheres to. But it happens in life that he is an excellent worker or leader, but at home an unbearable despot and tyrant; in school a rooster and a bully, and at home an excellent assistant and support of the mother, but fortunately they are few.
Conclusion
You should always remember that the thoughts of good person are mostly occupied by thoughts about other people and how he can help the needy. A good person is always aware of what is happening around him. He knows the life of other people, what they feel, how they live, what they want and what people who are close to you need. A good person knows a lot of ways to support and help other people with word or deed, and realizes their knowledge in practice. It is important that he does it unobtrusively, when other people really need this or are asked about it. So you, as well as a good person, do good deeds. Do them selflessly, without seeking gratitude. With a smile, meet every new day and every new person in your life.
