What Does It Mean to Be A Good Person

閱讀前你該知道的事

作者 ANDREA GIBSON 回顧了有次與朋友在機場遇到責罵航空公司員工的奧客的經歷，並稱這位奧客為「機場的混蛋」。有一次朋友的出國，讓這件事又再度被提起，也同時她想到她與心理治療師的一段對話：“everyone is doing the best they can almost all of the time.”

閱讀前你該知道的詞彙

Asshole: 「混蛋」的意思。通常用來罵做了某件討人討的事情的人

Make a scene:　在公共場合大鬧

flip off:　對某人比中指
The boy got into trouble for flipping his teacher off.

accountability: 責任、問責
跟responsibility不太一樣，accountability 偏向出事情負的責任，responsibility則是可以用來表達某個人或身分的責任 (Ex. The responsibility as a man is to take care of the family)

compassion: 同情心，與empathy，sympathy 都是同類詞。
