How would define a good person?

How do you define a good man? How do you define a good woman? Though morals are important in one's life, a good man according to me is one who does not harm any one else. One who can help others within his capacities. One who is not proud. One who is humorous. One who does not get angry easily. One who is not jealous on others' growth. same definition for woman too, though I want to add, a woman who does not gossip.

so u can say that i am a good woman, becoz i dont have time to gossip ..surely i gossip but with mylotters...so that earns me something...i define a good person in today's circumstances...that if u harm no one and hurt no one..its enough ...and caring and loving others, helping others, respecting elders, are all added qualities

Vijayanth, is it only women who gossip? I read somewhere that men gossip more about women than women gossip about men. Do you know that Jesus, in all his virtues too got angry? Anger can be used in a positive way. It is a means to an end which can be positive. I feel a good man is one who walks the middle path to enlightenment. As Buddha said, 'A rope should not be too taut or too laxed.' The Chinese concept of 'Yin' and 'Yang' creates a balance of forces that maintains the equilibrium that keeps the world in harmony. I hope you see my point, Vijayanth. Thanks for the wonderful mind churning experience you put me through.

Shobha, I do agree that men also goosip. Some men gossip even more than women. But in general women seem to gossip more than men, this is my humble opinion. Yes sometimes we need to apply that yin and yang concept. But there are several good qualities worth mentioning here shobha, thanks for your wonderful thought provoking responses. I honestly enjoy them.

Hi vijayanth Any man or woman who is liked by one and all is considered to be a good man or woman. They should have warmth in heart, helping nature, caring mentality, good virtues, ofcourse morals. They should be generous and do not think of high about themself. smiling face, sweet talk, good hospitality, kind and should know to respect others and their feelings. They should not have the nature of hurting others by their deeds or talks and should not be short tempered.One who lacks avarice, jealous and stinginess are in my opinion, a good man and a good women

I agree with all your points except morals. It is good if a person is having morals. But I don't tag a person having bad habits as a bad man. (don't tag me as a man with bad habits- I don't have any bad habit at all, though I used to smoke when I was in college)

A good person is the one who has a helping nature and who helps without any returns. Who will not harm others, not think bad about others and is always a friend in need.

I am a good person,you are a good person,even I think Everybody are good person,the main thing is what is the reaction of yours in tough situations.How is your Behaviour when you talk with other people.Do you have Faith on your Inner God.Do You Supports your close ones like family members,Friends,unknown person in their tough situations.Are you a Helping and Soft towards People. I surely Believe by these ways you can Judge a person is he\she a good person or not! Well towards your thinking I Don't Think a Good Person may not feel Jealous because its a human nature,But a good person can control over his Jealous Feelings and make sure that he\she doesn't produce an unfriendly situation in future.

Well, according to different person, a good person seems to be different. Suppose, a kind hearted person think a man/woman good who helps each others, stands by whenever needs. At the same time, a fraud can think a simple person to whom one can cheat easily is a good person. Again to many people a man/woman seems good if he/she fulfils others wishes and demands. A good person can be measured in different ways by different people. I can say a person good if he is kind at heart, helps others, listens to others, progress through simple and legal way, never cheat or make fun of others, who never breaks other's heart, follows the laws, who always follows the road shown by his/her parents.

I feel that it is very difficult to define this mainly because we all have some negative point or the other and we may be judged differently by different people. I have seen that even the best of people have some negative qualities which we generally overlook when their positive or good qualities balance out, same goes for a woman.Circumstances can sometimes make you do things that may be totally against your conscience or the required norms of the society , and it is difficult to define whether the person is good or bad at such times.. A person who is most of the time law abiding , responsible citizen and generally good to his/her family and friends, and is aware of his/ her duties could be termed as a good person...

Yes, we should not judge people in a haste. We need to judge them well and tag them after kiran, thanks for your response.

how to define a good person, I think everybody has his own defination. Many persons, you can't simplly define him/her with good or bad. honest is a good character, buy good guy can lie sometimes. some persons are good in one condition, but maybe became bad person under some induction. I think your defination is right, not proud, humorous , not get angry easily , not jealous are not the necessity. a woman who does not gossip is a good woman, I see, mind myself, don't gossip anytime.
• India
27 Nov 09
Yes, each one will have different definition, that is what I want them to share here, thanks for the response.

hi I m new in mylot. It is easy to define a good person or a bad person. 1st you can identify it from talking with the person. If the person are gossip about somebody mean he or she will also gossip about you in future. Life are mirror, that is why some ppl will always getting help from friends but some are not. Have a nice day.

A good men is responsible. He do his share in the family, he is honest and loyal with his wife. He is a loving father with his children. His family find security on him. He is true with his words and very helpful with his friends. While on the other hand a good woman should be responsible too. Her family is her life and they are really important to her. She takes care of her children and husband, very loyal and loving too. She don't have to deal with other's life like you said gossiping because she is busy with her family and they are all that matters. SHe should contributed something very important in the community also.

Hi, All women gossip vijayanths, and some men too! lol Well, obviously a good person would be someone that yes has really good morals or values that were instilled through them by their parents, and has respect for himself and those around him. He/she is someone that is loyal, has integrity, is honest and forthcoming, probably caring and compassionate.
• India
