How to use «Make good» in context?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to what makes a good person, because it is a subjective term. However, there are some common qualities that make someone good, such as empathy, compassion and honesty. One of the key things that makes someone good is whether or not they have a strong sense of ethics. Good people are often willing to stand up for what is right, even if it means their position will be unpopular. They are also usually kind and helpful, and don’t mind helping out others. Good people are usually happy and content with their lives, and don’t need to be the center of attention.
