What does it mean to be a good person?

Unfortunately I have to admit that I’ve had my moments where I haven’t been labelled as thar much of a good person but more of a person who everybody knows is good deep down inside but displays questionable antics at times leading some people to believe otherwise. In other words, I have a hard time displaying characteristics befitting of what most people would call a good person and at times I’ve been known to be selfish, rude, arrogant, and I’ve even been cussed out a few times in my life. Each of those times, my behavior has been the result of me believing I had been treated unfairly because of something or because someone has been rude to me, and I even have times where I’m not in a good mood and desire to be left alone. During these moments, anybody other than someone in a position of power or mom will be scolded if they approach me. Having said all of that, I feel like I’m a good person. I’m just being myself. Everybody has their reasons for confrontation and disagreements ETC but I believe that there’s something inside of everyone that makes them a good person. I feel like being myself makes me a good person and those who choose to label me as a bad one are entitled to their opinion. This is who I am and I will not change because someone doesn’t like me or disagrees with the way I act. People can choose to accept me or not accept me. I am who I am. If people don’t like me for who I am, then it’s their problem. This message goes out to anybody who feels like they need to change themselves to gain approval from others. BE YOURSELF and NEVER LET ANYBODY CONVINCE YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT A GOOD PERSON! In the end, everybody has something inside of them that makes them good people no matter how bad someone may act at times.
