Don’t Be Selfish

Don’t think that you are higher than everyone else around you because all of us are equal and even though you have done more accomplishments, you should still be humble. A good man is hard to find shows a lady who thinks she is much more important than she actually is.

In the beginning of the story, a family is deciding to go on a road trip to Florida while the grandmother wanted to go to Tennessee instead. To support her point, she says a criminal named The Misfit is also in Florida. Normally, if someone says that, it would mean he/she is worried about his/her family. However, other events in the story support more of the fact that the grandmother is only saying that so they go to Tennessee. Another thing in the story is the grandmother’s definition of good. The owner of a restaurant they ate at told her a story and she called him a good man because she approved of his actions. Overall, the grandmother is very self-centered and her her definition of good is whatever she thinks is right from her perspective.

A good man is hard to find shows how one shouldn’t think that he/she is higher than others and only change when something bad happens, such as when the grandmother was about to die. For example, in a small community such as at work or school, if everyone respects others, it will be a warm and welcoming community. However, if some think that they’re better, it can become a negative community for people.
