I had these random thoughts going through in my mind. I generally dont look at people as which country they belong to or how they pray, but more at if they are good human beings or not. At some point or the other in ones life we across people of varying degrees of goodness and that is what I personally look for in others. Goodness of heart and mind. So I was thinking on what charecteristics would make a person a ‘Good humanbeing’ according to me. The whole point in listing these charecteristics was just to re run on what I would want to develop in me as a person.
While with some people we see an inherent goodness, with some there are shades of grey as well. I have been told by people who know me well that I give far too many chances to people even after they hurt me. I guess that is because I always have this tendency to look at the goodness in humans and see any behaviour that doesnt agree with what I would call ‘good’ to be just a bad day for that person, or maybe a different outlook towards life.
Certain charecteristics in a fellow humanbeing would make them a Good human in my mind and I list them below…. You can add up what you see as good in others for I may miss out on a few.
* Trustworthyness- To me a good human being must be one you can trust …one who would not gossip about you, spread rumors about, one who you can trust with your life. One you can confide in, count on and one who you know would not divulge what they know about you to anybody.
* A good listener- A good person would be one who has time to listen to you, a person who takes time out not just to hear you out but really listen. By this I mean without Judgements and they may have differing opinions but they may not voice it unless its asked for as advice.
* Decency- A good human being has certain levels of decency about them and wont cross those limits no matter however pushed they are. They work hard and do not use shortcuts or dishonest means to achievee anything. They do not lie or be dishonest about anything or cannot fake anything even if you give them a reason to be dishonest about.
* Generous- They are generous not only about the material things they own and money but even their time and emotions. They have this amazing quality in them that allows them to share all they have happily without grudges and without any greed to have it all themselves.
* Helpfulness- They are always known for thier goodwill and kindness. You can count on them no matter what, when ,how you know when you need them sometime they will be there for you.They always show through thier actions small and big gestures of kindness and helpfullness that builds a quiet confidence that they can be counted on. They get up and offer thier seats to older people… they open doors for people, they help the elderly or disabled to walk across roads, without being asked for help they help.
* A good person always celebrates the success of anyone known to him without any trace af envy or jealousy , genuine happiness in the other persons success.
* They keep busy in thier own lives to get involved in messing around with others peoples lives.Hurting people , insulting them is just what they do not have time for, and so they do not involve in such petty pursuits.A good human being would never wish another’s downfall or do anything to hurt another.
Good people always have an aura about them that radiates a glow. They have so much positivity in them that people automatically get attracted to them. They are constantly thinking of good for others and think about others making them interesting people to be around as they constantly foster good in themselves and those around them.
From time to time I ask myself if I am a good person. If I am standing up to the standards I have set for myself in my life. I feel one can be a good humanbeing and spread goodness only if we live by being an example.What according to you would be a good person?

@justice: Welcome to my blog V and I appreciate your thoughts on this. I agree Good humanbeings are few but seen so many frauds and people faking who they are in this world. Sad we dont realise it until too late.

hi dear
i think to find a good human is to start it from ourself .
if we ask three question from ourself and if we found these answer thats the time we can have a perfect world with good humans , of course this is what i think and believe
these are the 3 question
1-who we are ?
2- why are we here?
3 -were are we going ?
by the way we always have to be patient and positive about any moment of our life beacuse that gives us the energy to fight with the bad energy which is devil any thing negative in our mind should be replace with the good thought and positive thought if we practice this every day you will see that the hardest problem will become easy and exceptable , so basicly every one of us can start it from ourself and try to make ourself full of posetive attitude and energy we will atrract others and we can transfer this to every body else in our daily life .
it would be very good if we let the others know what we think and they would follow our positive attitude and
rule of the good life at this world : dont use the world that takes your energy like : i cant , its hard , its not possible, she is bad , he is bad , they are lying, and etc.this word would take your energy and you could become depress week and mad so you would lose your day and your good energy.
just keep go with the time and do not worry let the time show you and you will see when you have the patients everything will fall its own direction they say time is God , if you believe in God you got to be patient and wait till you see what he puts in from of you ,i am sure if you think positive thing will work grate for you .

True said Naz only God knows what is planned for each person. I agree that negative words sap one of good energy. Keeping oneself positive in down times takes a lot and only faith in God helps then.
