Even Victor Hugo said that each person has three characters at once: the one that other people imagine him to be, the one he ascribes to himself, and the one that he actually has. Evaluation of moral and ethical qualities is a subjective and ambiguous matter. Often positive in themselves, in a particular situation they take on a not entirely good connotation.
What can be considered morally positive
Undoubtedly, the positive qualities of people: honesty, reliability, decency. An honest person will not take someone else's, will not covet the good of his neighbor, will not go against his conscience. Decency will not allow him to commit such acts, for which he will later be ashamed: to slander someone, to go over the heads, achieving the necessary goals, for the sake of his own convenience and benefit to step over principles and beliefs. And reliability will command you to fulfill your duty to the end, no matter how hard it may be, not to abandon those in need of help,don't look for the easy way. As you can see, the positive qualities of people impose a number of obligations, norms, requirements. Therefore, for individuals oriented to high moral principles, life is always more difficult than for those who do not burden themselves too much with such a burden.
Look at the world in amazement
Cheerfulness, positive thinking, love of life, openness, tolerance are personality traits that are highly valued in the modern world. A positively thinking person is cheerful, tuned in to active creative activity. He knows how to learn from mistakes and mistakes, but does not dwell on them. He takes into account the experience of the past, but is directed to the future, and these are very important positive qualities. People who know how to captivate, support, inspire confidence in victory, in the best scenario, are always happy to see around them. It is joyful and easy with them, they, like the sun's rays, illuminate gray everyday life and color them with a fountain of positive emotions. After all, it is rightly noted that optimists get sick less often, live longer, look good, feel happier than eternal whiners and grumblers. Moreover, the listed positive qualities of people help them to maintain a childishly pure perception of the world, the ability to see and feel its beauty and harmony, to admire them. Such were the enlightened personalities like the legendary Buddha or our contemporary Osho. And it does not mean at all that a cheerful person must necessarily appear everywhere and everywhere with a smile on his face. No, he perfectly understands all the imperfection of ourreality, its vices and troubles. But, being a realist, such a “homo sapiens” successfully combines constructive criticism with real deeds that change this world for the better. As well as tolerance, tolerance is not indifference to the negative manifestations of the properties and traits of other people, but the ability to respect a different way of life, culture, and ethical standards. The positive qualities, the list of which is given, allowed Miklouho-Maclay at one time to study the life and customs of the New Guineans, to be highly respected by them, but not to stoop to cannibalism.
Educate yourself
Self-knowledge of any mature personality begins with self-esteem, with the study of one's character, the eradication of some traits and the active education of others. How to do it? We read books, watch movies, observe people around us, analyze, draw conclusions, compare. Therefore, you can make a list of what positive qualities you would like to develop in yourself, and which negative ones to get rid of. And then purposefully work methodically so that your soul would work, work, work.
Freedom of the spirit, mercy, adherence to principles, sanity - these and many other qualities help us at any time and in any era not to lose ourselves, to remain people. They lead to incessant spiritual development and improvement.
