Goodness versus Kindness

We often use the words “good” and “kind” interchangeably to qualify a person based on their actions. Someone who smiles, asks us how our day was and seems genuinely interested in talking with us is deemed a “good person.” Basically, we give anyone who isn’t an asshole this mantle.
