"who is a good person"

prashu: it is very much possible. as long as one listens to you, you will be close with him/her and share your ideas/thoughts/expressions/feelings. But when he starts objecting I am sure you will stop talking to him. In this case if you are able to reason out that that person is objecting only my comment/activity then you may continue the relationship. In the reverse case where you are not agreeing with another person -- he may decide to stop his contacts with you. In the case of pets -- they will move closely with the people who care for it, who feed it and not with people who disregard it or beat it.

I think a good person is a person who helps out when they can, and does the best they can towards other people. But I think even good people have their limits. Even good people get a point where they feel they are being taken advantage of and then have to refuse. There also comes a point when helping others can be difficult on that good person and that good person's family and then they just have to say no.

I would say that in order for a person to be good, he must have sevral qualities. I`d say he would have to be generous, respectful, understanding, tolerant. I don`t think this has to do with his helping or not helping me. It would depend on what I`m asking of him.

A good person to me is someone who is good and honest to me in every way. If it comes to that I don't care about the past of that person or how he/she is treating others. If I want someone who obeys me I will take a slave.

Well, if a person only praises someone or calls them "good" when that someone is agreeing with them, then that is not a real friendship or relationship, that is a dictatorship. I have seen that type of thing before. It takes place when a person with a "strong" personality is trying to control a person with a "weak" personality...or it takes place when a person with a weak personality is trying to control someone with a strong personality. Either way it is all about trying to control someone. Trying to make someone do what the would-be controller wants them to do, either by handing out or by with-holding praise. If one does not say things that the controller 'approves' of, then that person is called a 'bad person' by the would-be controller. When a person first realizes that someone only praises them if they agree with them, it is up to that person to not deal with that fake person so much anymore. Or, just cut the fake person off altogether. When we realize that we are dealing with a phony person, that is to say a person who really does not like us and therefore starts to bad-mouth us the minute that we feel like expressing the fact that we too have a brain and some intelligence, then it is time to back away from that 'friendship'.

Hi, You are right. we think person is good who helps you, listen to you, never insults you. When someone someone behaves reverse to it we consider him as bad person. But it is not always right. Sometimes someone doesn't helps you because he has some reason. We should try to understand the reason behind it and then come to conclusion whether he is good or bad.

Ask yourself, did you think your mom or dad is a good person? I believe your answer must be yes, and so do I. Did you ever being scolded by your mom or dad, or disagree with some idea? I believe your answer must be yes, so do I. But then, why still we say our mom and dad a good person? Simply because they much cares, loves, raising us, educating us and many more reasons. But why we still say so though we always have disagreement and being scolded by them? Because their good to us is more that what they scold us and they are right scolding us to make us a good person as them. Back to your example. In my opinion, the example you gave above clearly shows us that the person whom praise people only when people help or agree with him is the one that is not a good person. Clearly he praise people to get reward and not sincere. Actually this is a bad attitude. Why must we push people to being good to us or helping us or agreed with us? Everybody has their own opinion and beliefs. That's how I look about your example.

Well, this argument from you discussed in your thread, it is very delicate. A good person is in my opinion the one who helps, who obeys you, but also the one who knows how to blame when you're wrong (of course all with good manners). Let us take the example of a child, parents must be able to be good not making him miss anything, but they must also know to distinguish what is right from what is wrong. So you can do a lot of examples. So to get to the point in the speech, if a person with you has always been good but you get yelled at for something that according to him / her was not right, do not "turn card" immediately and judge bad. This is my point of view.

see based on these factors i dont think it would be right to appreciate a person,it all depends on the way how well we care for each other and also keep helping others forever makes a person good or bad

Umh..i am not very good but not bad person also. sometime i can help the others, but not always because i can't, and for sure i don't do harm anyone.

I should not skip saying while helping them that Im not able help them more than this time. I wont let them addicted to me. Because I wont be able to afford them some day. Rather If we can we'll help them tobe self employed. We should not expect anything for help from them.

in my opinion a good person is the one that do not not disturb hurt or do something bad to his/her fellow, and the person who is always helping his/her fellow is better than a good person, a good person don't do things that are bad, and a better person also don't do things that are bad but at the same time he/she is doing things that are good.

I think behave well and mannerly with all people either that person is rich or poor,puts you in the list of good person....

These days , the qualities of a good person is really to keep their mouth shut! Do anything people shall Criticise you anyway! Do not interfere in anyone else problem , care less , smile always , live your life yourself, you shall be called good person!

Hi prashu, A good discussion! I hope that lots of people respond. I have felt for a long time that people are not good and bad but just different. I agree with you and have seen many people like you describe. A person is good as long as he or she agrees with everything they say or helps them whenever they can. What is good and bad anyway? Doesn't it depend on how we look at things? What's considered good by one might be considered the opposite by another. Blessings.
