I've often thought, actually what IS a good person, and a bad person?

I've come to the conclusion that a good simplified definition of a good person is someone who thinks about (and acts upon it) the interests of others before their own. So this implies that an evil person is someone who always does what is best for themselves without worrying about the consequences for others. But then again even more evil is causing harm to others just for the hell of it. Think about the implications of these definitions and let me know if you agree or what you think is the definition if you disagree.
