A characteristic is a feature, quality, or trait of a person, place, or thing. Characteristics set things and people apart. Although some may share similar characteristics, they cannot be the same in everything.
Some good characteristics to have are patience, kindness, empathy, compassion, and humility. If you possess these traits, it's easier to mingle with others and make friends.
No one likes hanging out with people who possess negative characteristics like jealousy, selfishness, unkindness, rudeness, etc. These people do not easily draw people to them and it may be harder for them to make friends because of such traits.
The world is a tough place to be in with enough bad. There's no need to add on to that. Try to change if you have negative characteristics that only bring down the people around you instead of uplifting them.
You may feel good being mean to others and treating them unfairly, but everything has consequences. Even if nothing happens to you now, Karma awaits you down the line.
Whatever you do to someone comes back to you. It doesn't matter who you are or how powerful you are. Bad characteristics always bring about bad outcomes.
Being good may be harder but it's always best in the end for everyone. It never hurts to be kinder, you never become poor from sharing, and it feels good to show someone else compassion.
