In a world where facades are common, figuring out who is genuinely good versus who is just pretending can be quite the challenge. The desire to understand what truly makes someone decent and kind-hearted is a question many of us ponder.
This burning question sparked a lively online discussion, drawing in diverse voices and perspectives. From identifying small acts of daily kindness to appreciating grand gestures of selflessness, the conversation was rich and varied.
A poster lists someone who feels “genuinely happy” at other people’s success as a sign of someone being authentically kind and good. Not only that but even if they do not understand “why it’s a good thing,” a compassionate person will still express joy.
I agree that this is the sign of a decent person, just because there’s nothing more frustrating than people who constantly show up late or do a no-show, leaving them “twisting in the wind,” as one poster puts it.
Altruistic people are essential in the good people camp, another individual asserts. They do the right thing because it’s right, regardless of “praise or recognition.” They don’t post on social media or brag about it. As someone says, “Heroes do good even when no one’s watching.”
