Almost everyone thinks they are a good person. Most people say 'oh I am a good person ,I have not murdered anyone .I have not stolen or deceived anybody etc. I belong to the ones who don't consider themselves as a good person.Just for one reason.I want to be sincere to myself. It is only me who knows how many things I should have done while I haven't . I compare myself to the better ones and I see how far away I have been. It is true.I have not murdered ,stolen or deceived but it does not mean that I am a good person. If you tell me that I am bad I will not accept it.However ,if you tell me that I am good I will not believe it. How do you feel about that? What do you think about yourselves?

Well,I think I am not a good person.Well I think my friends can say wether I am a good or bad.I think we humans always think ourselves good.

the question is, what are the qualifications that makes a person "good person"? As for me, I consider myself good person because everyday I strive to do good...though I fail sometimes. But the fact that you are striving to be good makes you better than others who do not strive at all.
