Be a good person
More than a mantra
How we respond, act, and carry out the conversations we find ourselves in can often leave lasting impressions and implications for those around us. Our impact on others may be more profound than we could ever imagine. A casual “Hello, how are you.” could turn into a heart-to-heart conversation when we encounter a struggling person. Their struggles could be home, work, substance, financial, or any other plethora of mental stressors present in today’s society.
In the world we live in, it’s easy to get wrapped up in our own lives and problems. It’s easy to forget that other people are going through their struggles and hardships, But when we take the time to be present with others and show them compassion, it can make a world of difference.
While we may not expect to become the counselor for the day, we should all be prepared to take on that role To be prepared for the day, which will eventually come, when we have to set aside all of our selfishness for the sake of others, we must keep in mind an easy-to-remember mantra, be a good dude(tte).
What it takes to be a good person is a topic that philosophers have been pondering for thousands of years. But in today’s society, with the way things seem to be constantly changing, it’s hard to nail down an exact answer.
The best answer that we can come up with is that being a good person is about being authentic and trying to connect with others. It’s not about pretending to be someone we’re not or having all the answers; It’s about being open to new experiences and learning from others.
So, next time you’re out and about and encounter someone who is struggling, take a moment to connect with them, ask how they’re doing and listen to what they have to say. Forget having the perfect response. Your goal is to listen for the sake of understanding and caring, Not to respond.
Most of us, in conversation, are continually thinking of what to say next We think of anecdotes or conversation shifts that bring focus to ourselves or events. Alternatively, many of us are pretty content to listen, but we are not good at it. We allow our minds to wander or fill the space with white noise. Good listening means hearing what the other person is saying and suspending judgment. It requires focus and concentration. When we’re good listeners, we make others feel heard and valued.
In the space of friendship, being a good person means thinking of only the other person, Not yourself Being a good person means continually assessing and thinking of ways to go above and beyond the usual routine of human interactions and find ways to make someone else feel special, loved, and cared for It means making an effort to be there for someone.
It can be challenging to be a good person. The world is full of distractions, and it’s easy to get caught up in our own lives, But when we take the time to be present with others and show them compassion, it can make a world of difference, So next time you’re out and about, take a moment to connect with someone You never know how much it could mean to them.
