A Good person is someone that has compassion for others and shows kindness. They don't speak ill of others, but know where to draw the line in the sand through calm conversation and reasoning. A Good person is selfless, but knows how to take care of those around them without losing their ability to self-care. They don't judge, they don't gossip and they don't hold grudges. And a Good person takes responsibility for their own mistakes seeing them as learning opportunities and not failures. There is no perfectly Good Person out there. But you can strive to be a Good Person everyday to make a difference in other peoples lives and inspire them to be a Good Person too.

Acceptance of others, especially the ability to listen to and accept that which you do not understand. The ability to listen to what others are going through with respect. Patience when dealing with people who can't understand them, either due to age, hearing problems, disabilities, or language barriers. Supporting those who are struggling, no matter what it is they're struggling with. There's more things but it essentially boils down to basic human empathy, supportiveness, tolerance, and patience. Or quite simply, doing your best to be nice

What makes a person good is their ability to notice that someone is troubled, depressed or stressed and help the through what is going on in their life.

My house caught on fire recently and people have been coming from all over to donate to help me and my family.

I have been so thankful for the help.

People read about the fire and decided to help total strangers.

As boring as it sounds, someone who understands the reason for rules and sticks to them no matter what. We seem to have about 3-4 generations who come from a level of entitlement that is just mind-bogglingly wrong on so many levels, to the point where they will actively break rules / the law if those rules and laws don't suit them. That's not the mark of a good person, that's the mark of someone who grew up without a steer on their moral compass (and it's not helped particularly in the UK by our bloody awful standards of policing)

I like this answer. If you understand the reason for rules you're more likely to keep them, even when it's hard and it goes against what you want. If you understand why it's wrong to cause others pain, you will avoid doing it or letting it happen. Knowing what good behaviour is and sticking to it are two different things, and it's not easy to stick to the right thing. Good people regulate themselves and have principles which they maintain. They behave like a good person, even when it's hard. We all know what that looks like.

I was so with you at first, but I'm taking this as anyone who eats meat or animal products is a bad person. This really can't hold up in my head. I personally wouldn't be able to get enough protein on a vegan diet, trust me my aunt is vegan so during Christmas we all eat vegan because she can't even eat if she smells meat, and with my medicine I get very drowsy and it's hard. Sometimes the way meat is brought to grocery stores is terrible and I agree but it's just not possible for me personally, sorry if that makes me a bad person. EDIT I immediately felt the need to add that I also have a good few food allergies that I can't eat so that's less protein options
