Be A Good Person
Be A Good Person
Pre-introduction: Good evening one and all! I really thank God for this given privilege to stand
before you all with the word of God. And also I extend my heartfelt thanks to Youth chairman
and everyone here for inviting me to share a few words.
Main Introduction: Everyone knows the word “good” and “bad” and I’m sure everyone likes
the word good over bad. Every sensible person wants to be known as a “good person”. Anyway
who wants to be called or known as a bad person? Even the worst person wants others to address
him as a good person. But to earn this title it doesn’t come automatically or overnight and it’s not
easy.
1. What is good? Why on earth everyone like the word good? Why the word good is so
attractive to everyone. The relevant meaning of a word “good” is morally right,
favourable, kind, helpful, etc.
Every community/people has a concept of good and everyone wants to be a good person.
But if we think about the concept of good, it is relative / subjective. What we think
something or someone good might be bad for others. Concerning, food, sports, etc. But
every society or culture has practice or values like respect, honesty, kindness, etc good
values of life.
2. Who is a good person?
Have you ever wonder why everyone wants to be a good person? And why we want to
become a good person? “It’s better to become a good person than famous person” –
Jenny Holzer (American neo-conceptual artist). What makes a person good? Physical
attractiveness, educated, family background, natural gift/talent, tall or short, Degree
holder, rich, poor, etc. But good people are not someone who is very rich, talented or
handsome but good person are someone who has good human values such as respect,
honesty, kindness, humility.
