Our character is something that classifies us. How we build ourselves is linked to how we build our character. Each and every one of us is born with a caring and a wonderful heart, but along the path that we choose to walk on or are forced to walk on change our characteristics. From being moral to immoral, we recognize and see things differently by that time. So how can one become morally a sound person? What does it take to be morally a good person?
It takes Kindness, Honesty, Determination, Acceptance and Virtue. It takes a change that most of us are not ready for, or find it difficult. To change our long worn shoes at the end of the season, that we got used to has always been tough.
Let us go through some main points to acquire afore-mentioned characterics:
Determination
People with morals have a moral code to follow. And they are consciously bound on following it. They work on their internal strength and their will power. Even if they are puzzled sometimes, they still rise and carry out their work. To be a morally a good person, it is important to be first true to your own words, this way you can develop a sense of trust on yourself. If you trust yourself it’s likely that you can easily travel on this path of morality with determination and zeal. Every change requires hard resolve and resolution, not just to lose weight we might think on picking up a pen and a paper, it’s about changing our bad habits, patterns, norms, policies and then sticking on those changes for a long time until we grow old and finally the time comes when we pass on that light to our generations to come.
Acceptance
People should develop a skill of acceptance in them. Most of the time it is seen that people from different ethnic groups don’t get along with each other quiet amiably. Difference In opinions are mostly not tolerated and they tend to imply their morals on others. They force them to follow their methods to reach peace and ease in their lives. Acceptance would create tolerance and value for others. Otherwise violence ends up being a wider option most the people out there choose to resolve uneven thoughts, and settle disputes. Action speaks, and it speaks very harshly and rudely when in anger, words can be controlled and can be edited and re-edited, they can clearly define their thoughts from their unreadable minds.
Honesty
This trait is found so much in people with good morals, they are honest and would do anything to maintain an environment of trust, they would hold themselves accountable for the belief they live in. They listen to others, and would give them advice if they needed. They are humble and straightforward. They won’t lie. They are sincere and fair.
Kindness
A person who approaches people with sympathy and makes them feel like they’re not alone in their difficult times, are liked by everyone. It also involves being kind to the animals and their environment out there, giving them importance and dignity might promote positive change, because indeed kindness is a change in itself. Real kindness is revealed when someone treats those that are below them and their society’s chain of living. It’s not about greeting some CEO and finding yourself kind or feeling better about yourself, and staying polite with someone specific and rude with the other. A kind person is the same with everyone, if being rude with any one and staying all cheerful in front of your favorite people makes you a good person than your definition of good might be wrong.
Virtue
It is said that virtue never goes unrewarded. You give someone something priceless and in return receive something similar. If you want someone to treat you with sympathy and goodness ,than its time that you treat that someone the same way you want to be treated. We living beings out there resonate whatever we receive and amplify it in response. This process is like planting a tree, it grows from a seed to a bulky fruit bearing living thing, with patience and labor anyone can receive the fruit they worked hard for.
By adopting these characteristcs, any individual can become a morally good person.
