A good, admirable person

"Someone has to feel good in or about themselves, before others can see the goodness
Ok calm down Gandhi "
Haha just my take on it.
If someone tells me I’m good person because I do this or that, doesn’t really mean anything unless you feel good about it |

Yes... and no. It's a nasty self perpetuating cycle at times, isn't it?
It can be hence my second comment "
Indeed. And I know it to be true in some ways, but at the same time, how do you begin the process of self love without a foundation? |

It’s a tough one to answer because all of us a mix of light and dark. I’m going to go for a good person makes a more positive impact on their world than a negative one. I’m acutely aware of some of my flaws, probably unaware of more, but also aware of my good qualities and strengths. I like myself, but dislike some of what I do. Am I a good person? Probably not in some eyes, but I think I have more positive impact than negative. As for others I look at their impact on their world and sometimes see the negative impact, but does that make them a bad person rather than good? In some cases I’d definitely say yes, in others it’s more a case of hoping they find a way to recognise more of the good in themselves and reduce the negative impact. |

Thoughts actions compassion consistency awareness trust empathy, emotions, probably lots more similar words.
Perhaps the ability to hold another when they fall or stumble and accept that we are all human all far from perfect yet when another needs us we will be there for them.
Or maybe I'm not a real man....
Others will decide that based on the way they see me, if they do.

Everyone has a foundation, it’s just recognising it and slowly building on it |

I guess I'm thinking traits, not sum of parts. |

An admirable person to me is pretty much most of us navigating our human existence ..
Courage to be true to yourself
Compassion for self and others
Navigating and overcoming life's tough challenges
Creativity
Passion
Kindness
Listening

See traits are funny
I can be both sincere and insincere, caring and uncaring, compassionate and heartless, empathetic and apathetic, honest and dishonest, trustworthy and untrustworthy. So for me it’s where is my balance point. Where am I? I value honesty but my dishonesty at times causes me pain and if they knew would cause others pain. I value being trustworthy, but know I betray others trust at times. I’m imperfect but I’m ok with that as I endeavour to be a better person today than I was yesterday and forgive myself when I don’t achieve that. I’m rambling now...... |
