Counterpoint, if you question yourself whether your actions make you a “good person” you’re self aware enough to worry about being a" bad person"
if you were a “bad person,” you probably wouldn’t give a shit in the first place…

Right and wrong are not absolutes. The world is not black and white. People of good conscience are always asking themselves if they did right and how could they have been better. Life is not a purity test. The “good people” aren’t without error, mistakes and regrets, sin. They just try overall to do more good for others and our systems than for themselves.
If you never ask yourself if you are a good person, you most likely aren’t.

That’s not a counterpoint. It’s THE point.

I always tell people that about parenting. Generally, if you’re worried about not being a good enough parent, you probably are a good parent.
