I am a good person? May be.

A question that we do not know the answer to, but we assure that we are good.

What is it to be a good person?

A good person is one who always wants the best for others and acts accordingly. When one person recognizes another as a peer and respects them, he can act compassionately, kindly, and humbly (as he does not consider himself superior to another being). Every human being is born a good person.


If you meet any of these points, congratulations, the world needs more people like you:


1) You are a retailer: "I was recently on a plane and I saw how a man picked up the book from the floor that had dropped it on another after falling asleep. And he not only picked it up, but also marked the page he was going through and he held it in his hands until the stranger woke up and gave it to him. " Goodness


2) You are realistic: "Good people understand that people are bad sometimes" and, therefore, do not return it when they do it. "There are a lot of people out there who just wait for others to screw them so they can blame someone", these would be the antithesis.


3) You are fair: "If they have promised to do something, they will mention it without needing to be reminded" such as: "Hey, here's the 20 euros you lent me a few weeks ago, thank you!".


4) You keep your promises: "If they have promised to go somewhere with you or do something for you, they deliver", writes a user. "And if they haven't kept it yet, they remind you that it wasn't an empty promise and that they still intend to make it, even if they can't at the time. That shows that a person keeps his word."


5) You are not elitist: "They treat everyone the same, regardless of the other person's status / job / popularity / money." They are not hipsters, wow.


6) You are humble: "They are willing to admit that they are wrong and to reconsider their position on something."

In addition, "they can recognize when they are wrong about something without getting angry or defensive."


7) You know how to listen: "They know how to listen to the other and they do not interrupt. And if they do, they try to stop and ask their interlocutor what he was trying to tell them", writes a netizen.


8) You are not afraid of being wrong: "They can contradict your point of view without attacking it directly, instead they endorse it with reason and logic. They say, 'well, I disagree with you because ...', but all with respect and politeness. An asshole, for example, would say 'You're stupid and you're completely wrong, go have a drink there.'


9) You're kind: "Those little casual acts of kindness that they do automatically. Holding a door for someone, helping someone if they drop something ... They just have a predetermined attitude of kindness and support towards everyone they meet." We can not agree more.


10) You are not self-centered: "They somehow don't talk about themselves in every conversation." They are interested in the other, they ask him questions about his life ... they are not gossipy, they are curious, good people.


11) You are nice: "They wave at you when you pass them. They pick up everyone else's trash as they walk. They make eye contact and exchange a friendly smile, nod when you see them ...". "They hold the door open or thank you when you do it for them," adds another.


12) You care about others: "They will ask how you are doing and offer their support if you need it. They are the people who actively care about you and your interests. Not in an inverted way, but like a sounding board. They are trustworthy people. "


13) You don't judge: "If you fart, they don't care", one writes, to which another adds: "They value and respect you for being yourself, instead of waiting for you to conform to a mold."


14) You smile at the children: "They smile at the children, in a totally sweet and not creepy way." We assume that they are the same ones that smile at dogs and cats.


15) You do not expect anything in return: "They do something good without expecting recognition or anything in return."


Of the 15, how many do you turn?


Self-evaluation will always be essential, trust that of the 15 you read, in some you qualify. We must not always comply with everything that external people do, but if you must comply with those that ethically and as a human being you must do them.

Is Freud right? Am I a bad person who is forced to conform to the idea of being good?
