What makes a good person?

There is a common saying: “Bad things happen to good people.” It never really irked me before, but it got me to thinking: What makes a person good? Is it the way a person carries him or herself through daily life, or is it the way a person carries him or herself when sh*t hits the fan? What does it even mean to be “good”? What separates one person from the rest of the pack? I firmly believe bad things don’t happen to good people but, in turn, create them. Everything in life is situational, and the way you react to these situations is what molds and transforms you into the person you are.Your being is a sum of all of the experiences you had and eventually will have. How you embrace and understand those experiences will shape your mind, body and soul.When life throws you a curveball, you have two ways to respond to it: You either let it destroy you, or you thrive and become a better person because of it.
