BEING A GOOD PERSON
Someone asked me to make a post explaining how to be a “good person.” I thought that it would make an interesting post because in all honesty, you can’t explain how to be a good person. What I might think makes someone a good person, might not be what you think makes a good person, or what your parents think make a good person, and so on. Therefore, please know that anything said in this post is pure opinion and you should not take my word as cannon. You can focus on doing, good deeds and helping others, but if you’re only doing that so people think that you’re a “good person,” are you really a “good person?” I can sit here all day and say that in order to be a good person you have to do a specific set of rules, but then I would be dictating how you should live your life, and at the end of the day, you have to live your own life and go down your own path to learn lessons that are out there for you to learn.
If you want to try to better yourself, just be nice. Realize that not everyone is going to see eye to eye with you, and that’s okay, realize that a lot of people will talk down to you, and that’s okay, they’re on their own path learning their own things. Instead of pointing out someone’s flaws, and making fun of them, help them when they need help, and accept them for who they are. At the end of the day we’re all our own individual, we can’t dictate to one another how we should live our lives. As long as we aren’t hurting anyone or pointing ourselves in harms way, know that it’s okay for people to do their own thing. The most important thing you can do, is just work at being more understanding of everyone and accepting the world and everyone for who they are.
We all make mistakes, we all mess up, we have to remember that those mistakes don’t mean we’re a bad person. Any mistake or hard situation we’ve ever been put in is only to help us develop into the people we’re meant to be. As long as you’re not trying to hurt anyone, or make anyone feel bad about themselves or their journey, you’re not a bad person. We can all be “good people,” just remember to be nice, and be happy
Much love ✌🏼️❤️
