What would you do if your were a better person?

Question

... assuming that you are already good in your own right.

Answer 1

That is an interesting question to ask every day of our self. Then we might do less mistakes and harm to others. I would think more and talk less. I would be kinder to people and have less expectation of them. I would concentrate more on inside rather than outside me. I would have positive view towards people but don't believe them at first. I would try not to get angry and be calm to see anything in this world happening... I would answer more question on this site....

Answer 2

I don't know... assuming I'm "already good in (my) own right" may be pushing it a little; that is a thing I can't really judge. I feel I'm pretty good, and family says so, but you never know, really, do you?
After all that rather silly lead-in, if I were a better person I would travel more and meet with more people who may be in need of something I can provide. In my little town I like to listen to the stories of the elderly, and help them when I can... though mainly they just want to tell their stories, and I love to listen to them.
If I were a better person I'd make it over to that other little town, and even to the city, to go to senior centers and just listen to stories, and help when I can. ("help" can often be just bringing an extra blanket, or a smile... but I think it is mainly the listening.)

Answer 3

For me personally being a "better" person would mean better health, both physically and psychologically.

If I were healthy, fit and able, I would do a lot more than I can now. I would hopefully have a better quality of life. I would be able to engage fully in life. Give more of myself and be more of an active participant in life. I would love to be more in the driving seat, instead of feeling like a passenger, in some charabanc conked out on the hard shoulder!

I would love to travel more....

I am really confused as to why I have thumbs down, and why practically all the other replies also have thumbs down? I have read what people have written and there really isn't any such thing as a bad or wrong answer with this type of "opinion" question. So who is the mean so-in-so giving these thumbs down, and why? So your own reply looks better as you aren't going to thumbs down that... it seems to mean spirited and petty to me.

Answer 4

I would not let how I am feeling (tired, frustrated etc) affect how I treat other people. I read somewhere that that's how bullies behave - taking out their negative feelings on other people.

I'm liable to pick an argument if I'm feeling in a mood and that does not help anyone, let alone me, and definitely isn't fair on the person I'm picking on.

I need to chill out and go with the flow a bit more, not take things so seriously!

Hey - these self-reflection questions and answers must be good for the soul!

Answer 5

I am good presently but, in a passive way. I give people (whoever comes to me) suggestions about tackling their problems. But I wish I could do something concrete to bring happiness all around. I feel lack of energy in me. Its like 'spirit is willing but the flesh is weak' kind of thing. (Though I am not old only middle-aged).

I wish I were more outgoing and living a real life, not wasting it in front of computer or dreaming whole time. I know I have it in me and others also believe I can achieve great heights if only I apply myself....I wish I had unlimited energy source to drive me. I'd be a better person and help improve others' life as well.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Doing what I am doing now...researching for going back to school to better myself. Researching for a better life and a better way of living while still I am aware of the needs of others. I'm doing the best I can.....
