To understand what makes a person truly good, we must look beyond just behavior and actions. Psychologist Sigmund Freud believed that a person’s character is largely shaped during infancy. The experiences we go through as babies—especially how we are treated by our caregivers—deeply affect our emotional development.
A good human being, according to this view, is someone who is honest with himself. He accepts his flaws and strengths without pretense. He is also empathetic toward others, understanding and responding to their needs with kindness.
However, Freud also emphasized that early rejection or lack of love can damage a person's self-worth. If a child feels unloved or ignored, they may grow up with feelings of insecurity. This insecurity doesn’t always show up as sadness—it can also appear as a need to control others. Such a person might try to dominate weaker individuals under the appearance of love or care, especially in social or emotional relationships.
So, being a good human is not just about doing good things. It’s also about emotional honesty, self-awareness, and the ability to care without needing to control. A truly good person understands himself and respects others' freedom while offering love and support.
