Empathy does it for me.

Hello, everyone.

I welcome you to my blog. As individuals, I think we all have our own opinions and what we think about a good person and how we see them; for some people, a good person is one they see as perfect and one with no stain at all. Trust me when I say once considered a good person, they expect you not to have skeletons in your closet; they want you to be pure and with no blemishes at all, but that is impossible for a human being. You cannot be pure and without any blemishes; we all as humans tend to make mistakes, and it is not any different for a good person. They can be good and make mistakes, and that single mistake does not stop them from being good people.

Our idea of a good person and the qualities that they must possess for them to be considered or called "good" differ. Some say a good person must be honest, some say a good person must have integrity, and some say a good person must be dark in complexion (haha, don't mind me, please), but when it comes to being good, height and complexion do not matter, as being good is a thing of the heart and not anything relating to the physical appearance of an individual. I guess we have all experienced where a person with a face like they cannot hurt a fly did the unbelievable, and the one with a face like they can do extreme things ended up being the soft, loving one.

Being a good person is not even written on the face but is seen and confirmed by our actions and our everyday habits. For me, I believe being good is not a seasonal thing; it is a habit we must keep practicing daily. Once you are good, you will not even find doing good as a stressful thing; rather, it'll be a hobby, and you do it effortlessly.

For me, a good person is one that shows empathy. Empathy is a quality I think every good person must possess for them to show goodness and kindness. There are many people who treat others in a way that they would not want to be treated, but if they could empathize and put themselves in the shoes or place of others, I think they would be able to treat them better. With empathy, we will be able to treat both our equals and those we are better than a lot better because empathy lets us see ourselves in their place, and since we are them, there is a way we would not want to be treated, and we would do everything possible to avoid being treated that way, so we will not want to treat another person that way.

I also feel a good person is one who does good things when nobody is watching and not for the applause or for show like our politicians normally do. Many people do good when people are watching and don't the worst things when no one is watching, that person is not a good person to me.
