Answer 3

Throughout our country's history, I would think that two positive traits stand out: willingness to help others, and optimism. We're obviously at a low point right now.

Answer 4

Honesty is perhaps the most fundamental value of a person with good character. Without honesty, other character traits such as building trusting and respectful relationships will be impossible to achieve

Honest - Trustworthy - Respectful -Responsible - Protects -Environment - Sets personal goals

“Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny

Answer 5

the same character traits as a good person

Answer 6

the character traits of any good person are

1. love, ie, devoted, serious, humble, real pursuit of their happiness [including life and liberty]

2. devoted, serious, humble, real pursuit of the things that cause happiness, namely, justice, wisdom, moderation, etc

justice is taking out of society no more than you put in - and allowing no one else to take out more than they put in

we humans have fortnightly pay from a million times, to 1000th of average - ie, extreme extreme extreme injustice, extreme extreme extreme unhappiness

therefore we are in general not good - we are in general as bad as can be - as selfdestructive, as undevoted to our happiness, as unloving to ourselves, as can be

from the finite pool of wealth made by the finite work of humans, we invite and encourage each other to take out as much as we can and ignore the consequence: people getting out much less than they put in, and getting mad, and making wars and crime and danger and misery

a good person would be aware that the founding fathers based their hopes of a land of the free on limitation of fortunes, on preventing wealth concentration - a good person, ie, a selfloving person, an unselfdestructive person, would have recognised the soundness and essentialness of this point, and supported it

none did

americans fled tyranny, and then grew tyranny in america without impediment for 200 years - by unlimited fortunes [for obviously limited contribution to society]

now the injustice, the violence, the anger and the weaponry is so great, that extinction is inevitable

pay from $1, to $1 billion, a fortnight

work from a lifetime, to a third of a second, per $1000

maximal injustice, maximal nonpursuit of happiness, maximal selfdestructiveness, maximal nonlove, maximal nongoodness

after growing injustice and violence for 1000s of years, what are the chances of humanity turning itself around and heading back to sanity and happiness-pursuit in the 50 years or less we have left, before 60th of the bombs block out the sun permanently from everywhere, throwing the planet into permanent global snowstorm, triple ice age?

people are not even alarmed yet

people are not even looking for solutions yet

people are not even facing the fact of the problem yet

the left, the thinking people, have disappeared -

they have fled to parts of the world where they feel they can be least unhappy in the few remaining years of the planet

i have a plan for happiness - a practical, capitalist, safe, easy, free plan to get us back to goodness - and i have had one taker in ten years

but human potential is infinite

we can never say die

we can never say: this plant will never grow, this plant has had it

we can never say: this human being is past it, this human being is irrecoverable, there is no spirit left in it
