We all do bad things. To figure out who is good you have to calcualate who is less bad. No wonder good people have it rough. They are really bad but hey are denying their destiny... So that is stress, and stress kills, so "Only The Good Die Young"..

That's why we have a "choice". You wanna be good? or bad... I want to die young that's why i'm being good. Please straighten up your shirt and button it up.

We all have the capacity to do both good things and bad things (however you want to define "good" and "bad"). But I don't believe that most people's actions are calculated in the way you describe. People don't tend to add things up before they act. And if you believe that good people are denying their destiny, you have to accept that people are inherently bad. That's a big assumption. Maybe people who do bad things are running away from their goodness! There is evidence that people who are involved in "bad" behaviour have a lot more stress in their lives than those involved primarily in "good" behaviour. Unless they are sociopaths. So, it's probably a lot more likely that the Bad die young.
And I have no opinion on your abs or your shirt.

good is a contextual anomoly relative to the time and environment of the behavior (social context).
you can manage your "goodness" and "badness" by assimilating into the culture around you. To be a good catholic, for instance you might act one way...whilst acting quite differently if you were a good buddhist.
If you wanted to be good at murdering...you might join an armed force (a leap).
know your audience! it's history, it's present levels of influence and need and provide only enough assistance and vision as the situation calls for...know all thresholds, personalities, style and content affinities.

i reckon that good is determined by knowing what bad is and avoiding it. only problem in life is that "anything good in life is either illegal, immoral, or fattening"... so its tough! but theres so many wayss of being good and i think its also seriously affected by point of view.
