To quote Hypocrites, "First, do no harm."

After that, you just treat others as you wish to be treated. (the golden rule)

To have good morals and set a good example for your children . Being kind to animals.Helping people in need ,empathy for others. Answering a friends request ,Being good to your parents and taking care of them if necessary.If you have children you should be responsible for their college tuition. If not DONT have any. I follow ALL of the above

Living a life of Loving Kindness. And trying to be the person my dog thinks I am.

  • to do no harm, or as little as possible
  • to help others when it's reasonable to do so
  • be kind, especially to children and animals

I think it means being the best person you can be. Be polite, kind, loving and generous to others without sacrificing your beliefs.

Kindness, caring, generosity, good humor, passion, empathy toward all living creatures.

Everything! Ive been told that I'm good person. I like that. I've been told i must be something else by a person in this forum. That hurt.

I had to think about this a lot. I know it simple for some people, but when your whole life you are told that the answers come in a book it's hard to throw it away in just one day.

In the end, I think it's important to believe that people are important. To the degree that you can reduce discomfort and suffering in others you should do that. and, of course, don't be the one that's causing that discomfort or suffering. You can get a bit more nuanced than that, but those are the basics.

Someone who treats people nicely. Someone who knows right from wrong without god. Someone who doesn't use or abuse people. Treats their mom and dog well.

A caring, thoughtful, respectful person/

It means I made it through another day without beating the stupid out of anyone.

Raping and pillaging people.... of their egos, then helping them build it back up to healthy, rational level.
