A simple test to know if you’re actually a “good person”

From Eric Peters:

What does it mean to be a “good person?”

One hears the term fairly often. So-and-so is a good person. Or the plural – they’re good people. But what is meant is rarely defined. It is accepted that we’re all talking about the same thing – but if you look at it a little bit, very often we’re not.

Because many of us seem to have a view of goodness [...]
