The 4 Qualities of a Good Person
Many qualities make up a good person, and while they all vary in importance, they all share some aspects. These qualities are empathy, patience, respectfulness, and responsibility.
- Empathy: This is the ability to relate to and understand others’ feelings. It allows people to better understand how their actions affect others and also helps them feel like they can rely on someone else for emotional support when needed.
- Patience: Patience is essential to maintain a certain level of kindness towards other people because without it there would always be anger or negativity.
- Respect: Respectful behavior comes from an understanding of one’s place and privilege within society as well as an understanding of another person’s need for space.
- Responsibility: This is what sets adults apart from children because it means accepting consequences for one’s actions which will teach those who lack this quality about the responsibilities of life.

The phrase “Be a good person” is a little vague. I mean, what does that mean to you?
To some, being a good person may include volunteering at the local soup kitchen or donating to charity. Others may believe that being a good person means treating everyone with respect and dignity. There’s no one answer for what it means to be a good person, but there are certain things you can do to increase your chances of being someone who others will find as such. Ask yourself if every decision aligns with who you want to be. Think about whether or not something could have an impact on another person’s life in a negative way and if it would make them feel any better. Remember that not all choices in life are easy, but always consider how something will affect those around you before making any decisions. Treat people kindly even when they don’t deserve it. Be honest about the things you’re feeling so others can understand where you’re coming from without feeling like they need to guess what’s going on inside your head.

If all of these are done rightly, then you are on your way to becoming a good person.
