What does "good person" mean?

[Alexandro]

I've never really believed that there is a strict dichotomy of good or bad people. The only thing I know is that people are more or less dangerous and selfish depending on the importance they give to the damage they can consciously do.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

I think of my cousin. She would volunteer to help people in need (women's shelter, tutor underprivileged kids, etc.). She has a family now and so she doesn't have the time.

[Tongio]

A good person loves deeply, himself, others and the world he lives in, by love I mean mostly having (or trying to have) endless patience and desire(will) to know and understand.
That is my perception.

[Ylla]

Someone with morals who tries to do good whenever they can. Doesn't judge other people, sees the human side of others. You have to be mentally elevated to be a very good person. No one is strictly 'good' though, that's human nature.
Anyway I think my hubby is a good example, it's such a noble, attractive trait to me.

A good person ?

Someone who :
- gets respected by others (honor)
- has respect for himself (dignity)
- respects his mother, his father, elders
- protects his wife and children, provide them with food, shelter, comfortable life
- protects his family, tribe, nation

[Incal]

There's not a rigid concept I'm afraid. The meaning of "goodness" doesn't only change according times, but also among cultures and even individuals.

According to Socrates: «none of the things of the soul are either profitable or hurtful in themselves, but they are all made profitable or hurtful by the addition of wisdom or of folly».

[Alenka]

They are kind to you, even if you share different views.

They learn from their mistakes.

They are pleasant and patient with people in the service industry.

They don't hold a grudge.

They stand up to bullies and look out for those who can't.

They can keep a secret.

They wait and hold the door open for you.

They have a happy cat.

They let you win a game of tic-tac-toe.

They pick up after their dog.

They laugh at my corny jokes.

They do yardscaping or snow shoveling for an elderly or disabled neighbour, all under the guise of keeping up the curb appeal.

They pick up litter and put it in the bin without posting a picture on social media for clout.

They ask, "How are you?" and genuinely care to know.

They try to leave the world better off than they found it.

They give a thumbs up.

you respect everyone around you and you don't go around making others feel bad so you feel better, you avoid trouble.. and most important, you don't feel like you have to say "i'm a good person" out loud

[Sacred Root]

What does it mean to have a "good personality"?
What is a good person like?
What does his life look like and what personality traits does he have?

A good person is a person who does no harm. Nothing that affects the soul. Thus, the concept of good and evil transcends the boundaries of the material and physical world in which there is no evil and good, and enters the spiritual world, of consciousness, of intelligence.
If it were not so, man would no longer be able to distinguish between good and evil. He would say, "There is no such thing as good or bad, everything is irrelevant." But we find that man, unlike a stone, is a stone with a soul, with a life. He has life, he has feelings.
Feelings of guilt, sadness, or on the contrary, feelings of love and affection.
There the sky separates from the earth, and there man realizes that there is indeed good and evil. Good is what it feels like.

The man begins to feel evil. Man begins to feel good.

What is good at the moment, but in the future it brings feelings of regret.

It is good to be happy now, but in the future it brings joy.

For example, you can say that it is not a sin to smoke, but after 5, 10, 20, 30 years, to regret.

Or you can say that it is not good to work, but after 5, 10, 20, 30 years you will be satisfied with the results of your work.

You can say that it is bad to cook a cake for your mother, but then to be happy that you did it.

You can say that it is not bad to masturbate, but to feel guilty after doing it.

You can say that it is not bad to take drugs, because it makes you feel good, but after years, to find out that you have hurt yourself, and you have destroyed yourself.

Well, you see? We really exist and we really have souls, feelings. There really is evil and good. Although people no longer distinguish between evil and good, between sin and blessing; we, who are still conscious, try to be the last good people in a world full of chaos, disasters, crazy people, people who kill and say it's okay, rapists who rape and think they're doing something good, criminals , thieves, aggressive, violent, prostitutes, drug addicts, etc.

I dreamed of a world full of peace, while they went mad. While they (the bad guys) went crazy. They've gone crazy. People with mental health problems. Nesanatosi. Sick. Strange. Dangerous. Mentally ill. Where neither the psychologist nor the psychiatrist can help them. No doctor, no one.

Oh, you who still think, those who still have an active and good conscience. Those who still have a healthy brain. Those who still have ears to hear and eyes to see, do not try to be like fools!
