Do you think you are a good person?

Answer 1

Almost everyone will agree with the question, "are you basically a good person?" I've heard that even criminals plotting their next crime think of themselves as basically good.

This tells me that if we're free to make up our own standard for good, then we will always set that standard so that we fit within it. It is a beautiful example of our human capacity for self deception.

A good person does the right thing for the right reason. Mostly we do our good deeds for self praise and for the imagined praise of others. Sometimes we do the right thing because we fear the consequences of doing wrong. Neither rewards nor fear are the right reasons.

The right reason is the conviction that the universe contains a moral authority that we ought to obey, i.e.God, and that moral authority cares how we behave. The universe is on the side of justice - Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr
