what constitutes a good person?
| You just have to be cold. So when you show kindness people are left in awe in those little moments. I'm saying cold not an asshole, big difference. You're still polite and courteous
| Me. I'm the definition of a good person.
| first of all stop thinking about being good, they are persons and you should be courteous and help them regardless.
second don't try to get any credit because your suppose to do it because you feel like it was the right thing to do not because you wanted to be good.
| third you aren't going to be always a good person, let say you are seated in the metro net to a little girl, suddenly a elderly man who is a sex offender as you seat, you wont give it to him but by the rest of the fully packed metro your just a asshole. thing like that happen and you can't do anything about it
the other side of the coin is that you maybe wont feel like giving the seat even if the elder man doesn't have any intention and that's okay you don't have to always be nice.
| Okay firstly, how would you even tell if he's a sex offender? Just because he's old? Anyway, even if you knew there is something you could do about that. Let him take the seat, but the second you see him try anything call him out on it. Seems pretty simple.
| If I were to give my advice I'd say that it's impossible to define a good person. Everyone has differing opinions on this. What we can do, however, is define an adequate person, to a degree of course. Even defining an adequate person is hard, but generally an adequate person is someone who's nice and cool and when they do something wrong, even with good intentions, they talk about it and clear things up. You're intentions aren't always clear, so it's good to talk it out.

| no matter how nice or good your intentions are, at some point someone will hate you regardless what do you do to be just and fair?
