a good person


I've been pondering about this question the entire day.

What does it mean to be a good person?

The first question that came to my mind was if I were a good person myself?
No doubt, it was a yes. No further explanations needed. Not trying to boast or whatsoever but I'm a good person alright. x.x

Next was this, what is a good person?
I felt that somehow, a good person is one whom could bring change to the world. Change for the better. I don't really think its really possible for every single 'good' person to change the world, so I brought it down to changing one's life. A good person would be helpful enough to help even a stranger without any thoughts of benefits. Somehow I felt that I'm yet to be a good person, although I have the intention of helping people, I might withdraw my intentions if there were reasons.

The last question that came to my mind was rather weird, why would a good person want to do good?
To be honest, this question stumped me. I think there are no true reasons for one to do good. It seems something magnificent and yet inscrutable. Many told me that what influenced them to do good is that they had once received someone else's goodwill. That did not happen to me, at least not that I know of. Hm, it's all weird, maybe I'd find out one day. But for now, I'd just stick to my principles of living and help as many people as I could. Sounds noble to me. hmmph.

what a weird day.
