In view of the statement made by the greatest man whoever lived, no human can ever be termed as good because we lack that inept ability to be good in the most perfect sense. However, we have the inborn trait to exhibit characters and actions that give evidence of a measure of goodness inspite of our falling nature, this is due to our build up or make up and the reflection of our Maker.
Goodness from a human point of view can be termed as the ability to be good, but what does being good entail? Well, from what I know and have observed being good entails an individual who tries to strike the balance of justice, mercy and kindness, who neither views himself as being perfect and above mistake, and who neither expects lofty codes of morality from others but is understanding, essentially a good person is not self-righteous, neither is he hypocritical but abounds in acts and thoughts of kindness and mercy. Note that, we can never be good in the strictest sense, for reasons mentioned above, however, we can exhibit goodness if deliberate and intentional effort is expended.
A good person will surely get into disputes, it is normal, we are humans, getting into disputes does not destroy the track record of a person who strives seriously to be nice, in fact it reflects the naturalness of that person and the virtue of goodness is more noticed when the disputes arise but the person takes good steps for a resolution, that is the hallmark of goodness! Any one who claims to avoid conflict is either passive or hypocritical.
Summarily, with all said, are YOU a person who has goodness?🙃🙂
