What makes somebody a "great human being?"

Question

Like if someone is kind to others and shows respect are they considered a very kind person in your eyes? I'm a kind person but some people have turned against me because I party n smoke n drink but that shouldn't have anything to do with how good a person I am or not. I believe I am one of the kindest ppl on earth. Plus I am very easy to get along with.

Answer 1

I think a great human being must have these qualities.

1. Tolerance of others diversity. Respect.

2. The great and honorable virtue of patience.

3. A sympathetic, and sensitive attitude, towards other difficulties.

To prove this is true here is the opposite. What makes a bad human being.

1. A person who hates others based on what they do. Disrespect.

2. Nerve racked, cranky, and always showing anxiety, and dislike of slowness.

3. An apathetic, and insensitive attitude towards other difficulties, and daily liefs'.

I also think you need to be talkative or else no-one would ever catch on to the people we really are beneath the skin of personalites silence.

Answer 3

Humility.

Answer 4

Everything you said you are makes somebody a great human being.Some people are just judgmental about drinking and smoking.That shouldn't matter as long as you treat them well.Do not let what others thing affect you.Be who you want to be.  

Answer 5

May I add, aside from humility, you must have a good sense of who you really are...and the determination to hit your goals no matter what...

"...I am the captain of my ship and I am the master of my soul..."

Answer 6

Treating others with respect and being unselfish. Giving time freely to help others, going a little bit further than they need to with time or help.

Nobody is perfect, we all have our little vices, but we should respect each other regarding these things, be kind, listen and 'be there' for those that seek our help.

Real friends will not judge you for your imperfections.

Answer 7

Great human beings treat everyone with respect and kindness. However, not everyone is a great person, so even if they are treated well by you they may make rash and unfair judgments based on your behavior. It is up to you whether or not you drink and smoke, that has nothing to do with how you treat other people. Keep being the nice person you are and don't worry about what people think of you.  

Answer 8

If someone has a happy heart and genuinely cares for the well being of others, then they are a good person in my eyes, it doesn't matter what flaws they have.

Answer 9

No human is perfect
