Hello MYLOTTERS,
I wanted to become a good human being but before that i wanted to know what are qualities one should have to be called a good human being. For me there are many qualities one should have and if consider all those then i won't think that there would be any person who comply all these.But there are some main qualities like honesty,helping others,not harming others which for me makes the person a good human being what about you MYLOTTERS?? What do you think????

For Christians like me, we follow ten commandments. That consists the human law and God's law.
Human law meaning, you follow legal rules. Not to steal,not to lie, not to kill, not to covet thy neighbor's property(including wife/husband).
God's law meaning, you love and honor GOD above all, and parents.

The ten commandments are a real good basis for morality and being a good person. That is why God gave them such a prominent position with his people. Then, as Christians, we also learn that no matter how hard we try to obey the ten commandments, we will fail. Thus we have sin staring us in the face, and thanks be to God, we have a Saviour - Jesus Christ.

You already are a human being,And you want to be a Good one. Thats Great! But the important thing is to realize yourself that who you are on the face of this earth and why you are here for limited time period. Of course there is something expected from you.
If you know yourself you get to realize that you are part of same source as the other human being.When you realize you are created with great love and mercy, You start loving your source and of course all other human being who are from same source. you feel oneness with them. All the virtues automatically comes to you like Caring for and helping others etc...

Hello ZAX,
Welcome to MYLOT!!
Ofcourse everybody wants to be a good human being but sometime situation don't let them do it.
If everyone understand that they have small life and should devote that life in love & helping others then there would be no criminal activities in the world.But it is not there are people who don't understand it.

Thank you sjvg1976.
Definitely people do not understand it and its difficult too, even those who understand quite often keep forgetting. Still most of us at some point of time have done some good efforts from our side. Its not important how often we forget but it is important how often we remember to act as a Good human being.If we can continue remembering we can add more value to our life. Thats great and great things often are not easy to do!

being a good person isn't about following a particular religion, or about supporting a particular charity.
it's about considering the impact your life has, and trying to ensure that impact is one of improving the world, and not of making it worse.
it's understanding that we are all part of the same thing, and not ignoring that other people, and other species than our own have feelings and emotions, and caring about that.
we can't all make a big difference for the better, but try to approach life with a kind and helpful outlook, and try not to judge others unless their actions are damaging to others.
try not to fall back on inaction where you perceive harm being done. try and guide others to care.

Hello galena,
Its true if you follow any religion it will tell something good which will definitely make you a good person.definitely we should not judge others unless we are confirmed that their actions have damaged others.We should as a good human beings should respect others feeling and emotions,should not hurt others feeling.

We have different views about this matter.
For me,being a good person is to be fair with other people
"seek first to understand before misunderstood"
For example,when you are in the middle of a traffic jam,instead of complaining or getting annoyed,we need to know first the reason why and what causes the traffic jam,before commenting (seek first to understand before misunderstood)
In our life,we faced different situation like my example above,and usually we tend to become irate and jump into conclusions before knowing the other side/other people's reason.
In doing so (seek first to understand before misunderstood) we will never think bad to anyone...but,we will always have a broadmind and open heart to understand everything/everyone (situation,problem,trials,hindrance etc)
And the best of it,"never ever rely to our ownself,but cast everything and trust GOD will all thine heart".
If we trust and cast ourselves to GOD,everything will be possible (if we believe and put GOD first in our lives)
This is my personal opinion...no offense meant guys

A person has two hearts: one that loves to do the right thing, and one that prefers to be selfish. You need to develop an awareness of the struggle going on inside you. To be triumphant in the battle to be good, you have to focus on your innate desire to be good. Remind yourself each morning that you want to be good, and don't let that consciousness lay fallow. Make it part of your mindset, and you'll see an observable effect throughout your day. You'll make more mature and effective decisions.

The first thing you do if you like to be a good human being be kind to everyone such as give something to the person that who in needed,next be humble look at your self lower than other don't look yourself higher than the other party such as when you see some lower position of that party your not willing to acquaintance because of thinking that you are higher with if you are actually good human being be willing to do what are fair and level to every people not only level but lower than them, additionally understand every situation try to understand other people to because we don't know what inside of them what they feel and what they like respect people finally love everyone.

Respect and tolerance to each other, that's all that matters. unfortunately, some are not raised to do that some prefer grinding down the other.taking advantage of each other i think. it's not easy to be good, some used to be good but situation has forced to be at survival mode, like taking time to do bad things.

Hello LK,
Really its not easy to be good always as we have to survive in this world.But theoritically we need to respect others which practically i don't find it these days as daily i interact with around 100 people and don't find it in some of the people but its waste of time & energy to make them understand it.
