Many
good people lived and died in the world. Some are known and many are unknown. Majority
lived for themselves but few lived for others sacrificing all their personal
interests. They are the good people who kept the world going. Here few best
known good people are selected and listed.
The golden rule used for selecting the best is “the ones who did only good deeds, never injured or murdered (not even enemies), and distanced themselves from all worthless momentarily worldly pleasures( such as money/power/slaves.....)".
Care
is taken not to include any criminals in the list. Criminals are peoples with
criminal mind and deeds. They are the bad agents who made life miserable for
everyone who disagreed with his views. Criminal actions involve kidnapping,
looting, killing and womanizing. Disregard to women include being unfaithful
by having sex outside marriage and raping innocent girls. Any involvement in
such activities is deemed to be evil and such names have to be ignored; however
good things they have done otherwise. A good has to be 100% good. The net result of five good things and ten bad things in a man can be Bad only. Based on
these criteria here are few top good people.
Jesus Christ
He
never sinned. He practiced exactly what he preached. He taught people to love
and care for each other. He walked with the downtrodden and poor performing numerous miracles to sooth out their miseries. He was against violence and never ever killed anyone, but preached love thy enemy. He taught the importance
of forgiveness. As said in the Bible Mathew 18: 22, Jesus says, “I tell you, forgive not seven times, but seventy-seven times".

non-violence. He proved to the world that weapons are not the ultimate tool for

Mother
Theresa
The greatness in mother is that, she never lived for herself but for the sick and orphans. She dedicated and sacrificed her entire life for the
people in the slum. The motive behind her deeds is rooted in her belief that God can be pleased by serving the poor and the sick. Being a true follower of Jesus Christ she was compelled to live by Jesus who once said; "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,I
was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison
and you came to me". (Matthew 25:35-36). Hence anything Mother did, it was to please her lord god.
