What does it mean to be a good person?
Good question.
The answer depends on your specific location in the ‘sea’ (continuum) of space-time, the birth lottery, your conditioning and vested interests, your open-mindedness, and your ability to honestly look at your own faults, actions, and prejudices.
But for me, personally: A good person is someone with no desire to intentionally do harm of any kind to another sentient being, lives and lets live, one who gently thrives on the gifts of mother-earth without exploiting them; one with the ability to see the wave function (shades of gray) between the traditional moralistic poles of ‘good’ (love and patience) and ‘bad’ (hatred, domination, and/or indifference).
But then, that’s just me; your view may differ, and that’s fine. I’m not the morality-police…; -)

Being a good person means nothimg at times, we go through trial and tribulation in life to realise it is meanigless to think of ourselves as good or bad. My good falls short, my bad is redeemable…the knowing that I am so tiny in the vastness of this world.

Yes, but we are all children of this world, this universe, and have as much right to be here as the stars and the trees… and that’s no small thing… IMHO…; -)
