What is a sign that a person is a good human being?

[Swede]

Saw this on Reddit.

My answer was when you treat the wait staff with respect.

1. Treats everyone with respect. ...

... Especially me,

2. Aquarius.

[Quiet Em]

3. When your online speech is the same as it would be when you are speaking with your neighbors or colleagues face to face

Well, of course there would still be a-holes but I'm certain there would be less a-holes.

4. They don't say bigly.

5. Empathy and Sympathy

It's important that people are able to put themselves in the shoes of others. We have too many people who either can't or won't do that.

6. If animals like them, odds are very high they're a good person.

Animals are shockingly perceptive. We don't give them nearly enough credit.

[Intractable]

7. Whereas I do agree with your post in general, lots of bad people have good-boy dogs that love them.

It's been said before, "Be the man your dog thinks you are."

8. About 18 years ago, a woman fell in love with me.

As they say, there's no accounting for taste.

Nonetheless, for her, I was the real deal. She was in love, and I could see it.

So, I knew she would always be good to me; always be nice.

Over time, I saw that she treated everyone this way! There were no exceptions.

That's when I fell in love with her.

We've been together a long time. We married four years ago. Best thing I ever did with my life.

9. I know a marriage counselor who uses this as a standard

“Don’t treat your Spouse (who you live with) worse than you treat Wait-Staff (who you will never see again)

And, yes, there are exceptions.

Like Nosferatu (Stephen Miller) who, in high school, ran for Class President on the platform of, “go ahead and throw your trash on the ground - that’s what Janitors are for.”

10. Caring for and treating animals with love, kindness respect. nt

Peace ☮️

12. In a Nutshell, Don't Be An Asshole

Of course, that requires a definition of who is an asshole. Someone who is willing to lie, cheat, steal, kill, or do ANYTHING else to get what they want. For them, the ends always justify the means, e.g., a certain orange shit stain and everyone around him.

13. They're a Democrat.

[Mister Ed]

14. Reminds me of the best dating advice I ever saw, which was:

"Pay close attention to the way your date treats the waitstaff, because that's how they'll be treating you in six months."

[Skittles]

15. when you do the right thing without expecting some kind of reward in the end

yes INDEED

[canetoad]

16. Oh yes

And that 'right thing'' isn't proscribed in any manual or religious literature but strangely, people seem to know intuitively what "the right thing" is.

[multigraincracker]

17. It cost nothing to be nice.
