Top Ten Things That Make a Good Person
This is a sort of personal list for me which expresses my view on this topic.
This is yet another attribute important in making a good individual. If a person respects his peers, companions, elders, family, belongings, nature, the food he is eating, the locality in which he is living, his work, his hobbies, and anything else you can think of, he is bound to become a great individual.
Without respect, what is this world? Life would be miserable and unappreciated.
If you show respect to one person, it could change their life forever (in a good way), and they might show respect to someone else. This can continue like a water cycle. Respect is what makes the best person.
Love is the greatest thing on the planet. You don't decide you want to spend the rest of your life with someone just because you respect them. I respected my grade 6 teacher, but that does not mean I want to marry him. A good sense of humor, kindness, and humility all make up LOVE. Those things are good too, but as they say, love conquers all.
Now comes the most popular attribute, which everyone seeks in every good individual: love.
Love is very important not only for making a good individual but also because it is one of the most important things in life. One cannot imagine a life without love in it.
Having patience is important. It teaches you how to wait for others and yourself.
Always be kind. It shows people that you really do care about them.
I know that everybody would say that love, compassion, and so on make a person good. But I'm taking a realistic approach here. If a person feels guilty for his bad behavior, he will always try to correct himself. Guilt makes a person realize his mistakes and motivates him to work on them. Total goodness cannot be achieved without this.
This is true. Guilt makes a good person because it indicates that a person has morals, truly understands when they do something wrong, and feels bad about it.
I feel guilty because it seems that I tend to become distant from my friends. I don't know why, but I just do. I think there's something wrong with me. :/
Developing this attitude is really important in becoming a good person. By showing concern for others, you develop a deep bond with them. A healthy society can only be formed by developing this attitude.
The Newcomers
Seriously, this list is about being a good person, not a good robot! Every human has flaws, and people should accept and embrace them.
People should stop trying to be what society thinks a good person is and just be themselves. No matter how hard you try, someone will ALWAYS be better than you at something or in a certain characteristic.
Everyone is going to die, some alone, some together, but most will be forgotten over time. The clock is ticking. Go spend your life doing what you want to do, not what is socially and morally acceptable.
A shameless person can go to any extent and do whatever they want without caring for others. A murderer has no shame in stealing a life. A corrupt businessman can sell unhealthy and potentially harmful products without any shame. A drug dealer sells drugs because he has no shame in seeing people destroy their lives using the drugs he sold them. A terrorist has no shame while killing innocent people.
Discipline is very necessary for the development of a productive individual. Discipline makes a person responsible and reliable. He is greatly focused on what he does, and he can direct his thinking toward doing something productive every time.
Being honest makes a better person because you feel great when you are honest. It creates peace within you. Honesty might not give you success or money, but it builds self-confidence, and that is what makes life worth living.
It hurts when you don't forgive!
