Being a Good Person.
A good life can mean different things to many people. For me, I chose to write epic blogs with interesting ideas and matter of the day questions. Sharing your life with other people is a responsibility that requires thinking about their welfare and living with that opportunity to open minds and innovate for the future.
Choosing what profession or trade is important and gaining an education to further your aims can be an important choice, because it could determine a whole life’s focus of activity. Achievements can convey huge improvements on a small scale or even an international level and careers can allow for a practical demonstration of objectives and aims. There are occasions in life when one may have to change their work and find a new goal but these junctures can prove to be experiences and lessons for enhancement.
Apart from work and study, there is one important choice that each individual must decide at an early stage of life, and that is what sort of person do you want to be? Honest, trustworthy, to tell the truth at all times, maybe generous, kind and sympathetic. I remember having those thoughts until in preschool I sat on a tricycle and a larger girl wanted to take my place. So the next thing I remember is looking up from the floor in dismay as the larger girl was prominently sat astride my tricycle. Dispossessed, I thought that was not right. I launched a counter attack by grabbing her clothes to pull her off my tricycle. A nearby adult stepped in by grabbing my collar and the seat of my pants and then added to the indignity of the experience by spanking me. The tears I shed were not from pain but the unjust treatment I had received. To make things worse there was no chance to redeem the situation. As the adult had only seen me try to get the girl off the tricycle that I had been sitting on. The last thing at that moment and on my mind was being a good person
Albeit besides the childhood flare ups and flip outs, having a desire to act in a fair and just way has been a constant priority in my mind. There are times when in hindsight I could have done better but I treat those times as learning pointers to guide as to how to keep on the right course. I think the responsibility for being a good person is always that of the individual and the intent should not be to look for others to blame when falling short. In following this approach integrity, valour and respect for oneself quickly adhere.
