Meaning of a Personality

 On the Google, there are any number of sites which profile a good person. Equally definitive are the traits of a bad person, obviously. In fact, the ready-made psychological parameters on the internet are much better at defining the bad rather than the good. Well, anyways, the world overflows with them. Why tarnish our blog with them, right? 

Instead, let us look at some qualities of a good person as indicated by such search pages. The first one would be genuineness. Indeed, it matters a lot. Fake persons are exposed soon. They cannot, forever, wear the mask. It tears, and actually often. The only problem is that one tends to  locate the pattern rather late.

The second quality is that genuine people never gossip about others absent physically, but present or dragged in to the conversation willy-nilly. It is a truth universally acknowledged that the person who gossips to you about others is sure to gossip about you to others. Better hence avoided.

The most important quality would be that good people are transparent in their activities and motives behind them. They do not play hide-n-seek every moment. There is a translucent cleanliness about their actions. They talk the walk, and walk the talk, in brief.

As a consequence, there is an unmistakable authenticity about them. It is coupled with sincerity, obviously. Yet such people are never self-centered. Empathy is their hallmark. Kindness is their identity card. They can always imaginatively wear the shoes of others to understand deeply their problems.

No wonder, such people are introverts. They think, and feel, deeply. They cannot be very comfortable with shallow presences. They would hence have very few friends because they can easily guess through people's hidden agendas, and often find it deeply difficult to tell it to the face, given their own sensitivity. Instead, they prefer their own company, co-habited by great authors, thinkers, and activists.  

In brief, such people are great readers. They love, and are good at a number of fine arts. No wonder, they appear aloof to most who wear many a masks, but have no face. They definitely are not "proudy" to use an Indianism. They are sure to so come across to the prejudiced.

Their sense of humour is superior. It is subtle. It is not the slapstick variety of a fat lady slipping on a banana peel, hitting a hawker's cart full of fruits that roll out everywhere causing a havoc. Their subtle humour without malice has an awareness of the societal imperfections of every variety.

Such gems, no wonder, are one in a million. Better to hold them close to your heart as and when you meet them. Such brilliance, once, and if, found, should never be lost as diamonds are rare!

Pratima@ The Google list of many, and more, such qualities might be giving most a profile to live by. That may be the reason behind the popularity of such folksy parameters. The internet, anyways, is knowledge democratised!
