A GOOD PERSON

From an early age, we are raised by a society that tells us what is right or wrong. Deep down we

all know what the right choice is, but the choice we ultimately make is shaped by experience.

Experience, trauma and emotions make you make your choice, and this is usually for your own

good, self-protection, or the most beautiful; empathy or love.

You are a good person in most eyes when you look after other people. When you are honest,

sincere. When you love, and when you show empathy. You are a good person when you are

open to different opinions, different cultures, class and “the unknown”. You are a good person

when you listen, comfort, help and learn. This is what we have been given, this is what we

know, what we all know.

Despite the fact that every individual has been given this long the way, it does not mean that

this is how we behave. Unfortunately, many have gradually come into a position in which they

have started to act differently out of emotion, pain, trauma etc. This manifests itself in the

following: They themselves cause pain. While this is something we all understand, it has

become a visual circle that we all participate in. Does this make us bad people? NO

Let’s not forget that we are all born with the same emotions, we share the same pain. You share

a trauma with so many others. We should pay more attention to the fact that every choice we

make also affects others. We don’t know each other’s pain; we don’t know each other’s trauma.

Don’t try to judge right away. Don’t let your pain or self-protection be a reason to put someone

else in that same position. Be good to others, as you want them to be good to you.
