Abraham Lincoln said, “Reputation is the shadow. Character is the tree.“ Our character is much more than just our reputation, what we try to display for others to see. It is who we are even when no one is watching. Having a Good Character means doing the right thing just because it is right to do what is right.
Why is it so hard to do the right thing? Not because you feel obligated to do so or are going to be perceived differently by others but because you truely believe it's the right thing to do.
Through my years I've met people who brag about being liars and cheats. Who from the outside appear to be of substance until you dive deeper.
Truthfulness is not easy. Having values and convictions shouldn't be an after thought.

People who pat themselves on the back the most in regards to their character tend to be the biggest shite bags out there, in my experience.

I agree, they sure did break the mold after they made you.

Very few people don't consider themselves good. Telling yourself you're a good person doesn't make you a good person.

On the other hand, starting a thread about being a good person probably will make you a good person. So, well done

Values and "doing the right thing" mostly went out the window with the decline of churches and Christianity the last decade or so.

As a Christian, it is shocking how much it's changed. Especially in the south.

I strongly consider myself a man of my word. Even if I know after the fact that it is going to cost me more than anticipated in the long run. Once committed,I'm there.

You're right. Sucks how it's not "cool" to be good church going folks these days. But the good thing to remember is, there will still be churches and Christians long after US pop culture is forgotten or a footnote in some history book.

Attending church has not a damn thing to do with doing the right thing and having character.

I doubt it, I read on Facebook that Obama was shutting down all the churches.
