I say, "to you" because I believe that while our society likes to paint the picture that we are all on the same page as to what makes someone good or bad, it may actually be entirely subjective. We have our own individual morals and values and those are what we ultimately use to determine a person's goodness/badness on a case by case basis. I believe it to be a grey-area, gradient type scale. So to you, what makes a good person? Is it their words, their actions, or a combination of both? And if it is a combination, does that then mean that someone isn't as good of a person if they do not practice both?
You can be a good person by practicing honesty, being equitable and fair, without talking about it.
You can’t talk a big game without actions to back it up.
The “words and actions” option leaves too much grey area for empty wind address; talk is cheap.
Actions are all that matter for any evaluation.
Honesty is a very important quality for goodness in my eyes. But it has to be tempered with tact, sensibility and love I suppose. There are some other good qulities of course. Integrity, which is close to honesty. Loyality - which could be in conflict with the other two. Responsibility. Caring. Respect. If I could just use one word? Intgrity. But then people could ask what do you mean by that, just as the question asked what is good?
