All beliefs aside... do you know anyone in life who, no matter what the situation, no matter what the place, no matter what the time... is just naturally a good person?
I’m talking about someone whose sense of morality is not influenced by society. Someone who just has a natural goodness about them…someone who would never talk bad about anyone.
I hope my question makes sense. Does anyone in your life come to mind when I list these traits?

My dear Aunt Ann. She is a saint. Never had a bad word to say about anyone in her life. She is the first one to give you the shirt off her back. I try to emulate her but I will always fall short. That's how wonderful this woman is.

Yeah, I know one such person. At least, as long as I've known them, they've always been this way. But I don't know, sometimes people seem to be one way, and then somehow they just change into some really horrible person. It's hard to find people like that these days, and I wonder if it's all around a good thing to be perfectly good like that. I know I try to be, but I'm not perfect, and can anyone else be that way, too? It seems so...oh I don't know. I don't even know how much sense I'm making at this point. A good question, though.

There is one person that comes to mind; while I will never know his true intent I believe with my life would not purposely do a wrong (without feeling guilty). He has dedicated his whole life to the service of God, is poor and earns little respect. Yet he is always happy, controlled, disciplined, soft when he speaks and NEVER makes anyone feel like dirt or uncomfortable. He sees the good in everyone despite their religion. He is a Muslim too.
I hope to someday have the same strength in character.
Peace.

Well the person I am thinking about sins sometimes! I know she has a good heart though! She is always kind and never is mean! She might make mistakes sometimes, but she mostly is a good person! She was like my sister to me and I was like a sister to her! Yeah...it reminds me of my best friend! I moved, so I dont get to see her much! I love my sister so much! I miss her too! Yeah, but she isn't my sister! I lived with her for a while to finish up school before I moved! She is LDS from the beginning untill the end! She follows standards! The typical mormon girl!

I think most people are 'good'. But for people who are always positive and never say negative things that is more rare as we all have our bad days.
I would like to think I am not influenced by society. My morals are my own. I find it strange that people think things are okay because its the social norm. No wonder people are confused....

Absolutely! She's gone now. But Grandma Weeks. She was not my grandmother, but told me to call her that when I first met her. She was the person in my life who helped me to understand what unconditional love is and know that I had experienced it my entire life from my parents. She never judged anyone and refused to listen to any type of gossip. She never had a bad thing to say about anyone. What a lady!

Yes, and I wish I could be more like them! I've known people of different religions to be like this... and people not practicing any religion at all. I'm a Christian, and I think people who seem "naturally good" sometimes act more like Christians (should act) than I do!

Yes, I do know people like this. Observe young children, most of them fit this description. They learn to judge and discriminate. The fournate ones somehow manage to hold on to the "fairer" qualities.

I think of my older sisters.
of course every human alive today makes mistakes so, I think with that, they are the people I would think of, because my sisters are some of the nicest people I know.
And there are 2 other girls who are just like my older sisters, and I think they would have to be included in that as well.

My aunt Dee raised me along with 5 of her own. I never heard her speak against anyone; to me she is the perfect example of goodness; she does not practice any religion but she sure lives up to Christianity's ideals.
