The right way to be and the wrong way to be
#23
RE: The right way to be and the wrong way to be
Here's a definition I remembered (not original with me).

A good person is someone who gets pleasure from doing good things.

If someone does good things because he has to, because his mom makes him or he's afraid of being shamed or something, then he's not necessarily good. But someone who does good because he enjoys it is good.

And you don't have to think about grand gestures, like giving all your money to charity or something. Just: are you happier when you improve life for others?

I honestly don't understand the many many people who get pleasure from making other people feel bad.
