So IYO, in order to be a good person one has to think that they are really a shite person?


I didn’t take it as that. I think it’s more not letting it go to your head. Recognizing that you want to do good, and try to do good, but inherently we are all flawed people.

And when you see yourself acting flawed, trying to correct it and right your wrongs. Having integrity.

And it begs the question, is it a good deed if it doesn’t put you out in some way?

Correct. That is perfectly what I meant. Well said.

Those are often the single best deeds. The ones that are unpopular now that you are in your heart of hearts convinced is morally righteous. Courage is rarely popular at the time the courageous deed is done.
