    Being yourself is about stripping of the layers of who you really are and show that nakedness of the self, without a mask nor a piece of hiding material - at least that's what I believe

    Being a good person is not a compulsory however in every bad person (unless a psychopath who has no remorse) lies a good person within, good person is someone who doesn't necessarily obedient, follow rules or never break any laws, but helping an old lady next door or saving a cat from a tree or helping your siblings with a homework etc, simple thing in life can make someone a good person

    Being a good citizen is like obeying the rules and laws but not fanatically into it that it makes you look like your so perfect, because no one is perfect. Therefore a good citizen is doing something that is fairly advantaging oneself as well as the society

    A good person is one who thinks of others before himself.

    A good citizen is one who puts the community as a whole before himself

    Being yourself just means not pretending to be something you're not :-D

    Being yourself is how you truly are, your own perception. A "Good person" and "Good citizen" is an opninion based off someone else's perception of you. But isn't the individual's opinion the only one that really matters?

    being yourself is you doing everything you do comfortably. Meaning theres no conscience talking to you or a feeling of guilt. being a good person is doing whats right or whats morally correct. Might not be law abiding, but has good intentions. good citizen is someone who follows the rules.

Happiness would be discovered of issues which won't additionally be useful to our non secular or psychological ingredient like we would bypass out & have our well known dish & outfits and so on., we would experience happy. yet delight comes from a sort of achievent, if we get reliable grades in examine we would get a spectacular feeling that asserts "complicated word paid off" now thats greater useful isn't it ;p[ Now peace.... i think of it relies upon on what attitude we undertake towads the "activities" we do for "happiness" or the two "delight", peace extremely exist in our self, it only must be discovered via us. a individual of lack of know-how could experience peace at the same time as a complicated worker would desire to be strresed. that's even oposite to that . So peace desires to discovered via us.

    being "yourself" is required by healthy individuality,

    being "good person" is required by the society that reflects the true "yourself",

    being "good citizen" is required by the law which regulates all of the above.
