Its a super power, actually. Everytime I meet one they impact my life so deeply I can't help but admire them and completely swoon.
I'm glad people still admire altruism. I have ADHD and a weird symptom of it is a "rigid moral compass" and a "strong sense of righteousness".
I had pretty cynical and rich parents that were very skeptical of my worldview and attitude. I sort of accepted that I'd remain alone by " doing the right thing". Glad to see it may not be that way ๐ค
It's few and far between. A good person isn't a perfect person. It's someone who does the hard thing because it's the right thing. People also fall in and out of being their best selves. That's exceptable as well. So, if you truly want to experience a genuinely good person, you have to trust they are before they can show you. If you want to be one don't do it by following some strict rules set. Look for places where you can help then just be yourself.
If all I've ever known of you is the best side of you, flawed and all, to me, you were nothing but good.
