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.

Those who don't discriminate. I'm deaf-mute, and I've been sent away at multiple food places as well as been rejected by many people because of my inability to say what I need/want verbally, and the other person's entitlement to not read my phone/paper where I wrote it (if they don't know ASL)

I think that people who accept others for who they are and don't ridicule others for liking certain things make a person good. Let me just say this, if you make fun of others for doing something they genuinely enjoy, you are the worst type of person.

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

This is an interesting argument, but I believe it is fundamentally incorrect, mostly because we need the 'construct' of good to exist for us to properly function as a society. Without morality, we are lost.

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.

This is what makes a person good.

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)

Living, acting, thinking, speaking with integrity - that is, moral wholeness. A good person is one who walks the walk, as they say. It's not a religious quality but a spiritual pathway.

Someone who is fair ex "what's right is right". Not a yes man. Has strong beliefs and a strong moral compass. Believes everything has a soul everyone has a mother sister and considers that b4 getting angry or violent. Stands up for people who can't stand up for themselves. Selfless will help even if they themselves have nothing. Kind will listen not just hear. Gives more than they receive regardless of financial situation. Doesn't mock others or bully people. Is kind to all animals puppy's cats spiders sharks cause again everything has a soul. Will not accept any form of any type of abuse neglect or otherwise done to anyone especially children.. and lastly knows how to love

Being reasonable, compassionate, reliable, modest. Not pretending to be somebody else, not sharing confidental information, not looking down on others without second thought.

Being nice towards other animals, for they don't have a voice and cannot praise you for acting kindly towards them.

Generally, doing things because then, they're done, not because they're seen. Also not doing evil things, regardless of others knowing or not.

Even more generally, acting based upon what you reasonably think is right, not what allows you to expect the greatest revenue.
