how do you stand to be a good person?

This is a very tough question to answer. It's really hard to be "good" all of the time because in every action you do, there surely is a consequence. if you do something good, you can't always be assured that everything's good. there might be other people suffering from the good thing you did for yourself. i think to do "good" means doing something which will result to more people getting benefits or getting happy and minimizing negative results. It is important to make sure that not a lot of people are affected when you decide to do something good for yourself, for those people you love, and for others. Also, it is always much easier to do something "good" than having to think later on of how to defend yourself when you do something "bad".
