What attributes constitute being deemed a good person?

Question: What attributes constitute being deemed a good person!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Selflessness - because this allows you to work together with other individuals to better society (making you a good person)

A common morality - meaning that you have morals similar to the people in your current society!. This would constitute being a good person!. But I do not believe 'good' is universal, so this morality would vary depending on the culture it is immersed in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ha ha, absolutly fasinating!.
I think the specifics change over time!. Most of the historical people cast as good have become icons and that is one step away from being a myth, so the minor attributes are seldom known facts, and the process of glorifying evolves with the perspective of each generation!.

In general I would just say that an intentional actions that result in the physical well being or mental peace of others, resulting in gain, happiness and life of another person could cause one to be deemed as good!. Since it is a general principal I am looking at, I have left out the usual list of gradititudes, but other answerer's will cover many of them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
