Are you a good person if you have no capacity for evil?

Which side of this philosophical debate are you on. Is every person who does good deeds a good person or only those who recognize their own capability for evil and still choose to do good. Basically if you don't understand how evil you could be you've never had an opportunity to act on horrible thoughts are you actually a good person? Or are you just someone who hasn't had the chance to unleash the beast inside them. Now I'll pass the blunt

Nothing is inherently good or evil. It's always context dependent.

Good and evil are both subjective, pointless discussion.

No such thing. There is no good/evil. There is only survival/death. If good deeds will help you survive long enough to propogate your genes then you have succeeded in nature. It’s simply a means to an end

Interesting question, are there deeper implications of each answer?
Tough question, but I'd say yes you're still a good person because you're doing good deeds even if you're aren't capable of not doing good deeds.

Coronado Beach will do wonders in this regard.

Majority of actions, good or bad, are done for selfish reasons.
For example most people don't do good deeds because they want to do the right thing, it's because they crave the attention and adulation of others for doing something good. See all the rich corrupt people who are "philanthropists".

The capability for murder lies in most all of us if we are pushed past a certain point.
For some the point is much easier to cross.
Some will kill you over scuffing their shoes.
Some over insulting their deity
Some only if you truly do something heinous. If you harm their family.
But rest assured the beast lurks.
Of course, one could argue that murder isn’t evil, just a reflection of the culture and social mores we dwell in.

Everyone has capacity for both good and evil.

According to Jesus, "...there is no one who does good, not even one."
He's right, you know.

The inner struggle may be admirable and make a good movie script, but ultimately all that matter are the actions. An inherently good person is just as good or better than someone like me, that is equally capable of horrific acts but chooses to be the best that they can.
