“Sometimes, being good to people can really be exhausting. You treat your staff so decent yet they prey on you.
It’s like they expect you to be trash to them that when you are good they take it for granted and take the piss.
Maybe we should all be selfish, After all they say the wicked people live the longest.”
Good people are polite. They show respect and mind their manners. It’s not to be a showoff or to seem better; they just truly respect individuals and want to treat them how they want to be treated. This is what a good person is like.
You may ask, does being a good person matter? You should know that being good is a personal decision. No one can force another to be a genuinely good person.
Consider the benefits of being a good person and how good behavior can impact your life for years to come.
