Not even by my own standards, which is not much. Do I try? Sometimes.
I try to be good whenever I can remember or if the opportunity is presented to me without much cost. Being good has a cost in terms of effort and discipline, and yes, I fail at that. For example: I may look the other way whenever someone’s suffering, but when I can, I try to do what I can.
And this is why I hate it when people say I am a good person. I know I am not, that I can do so much more. I don’t even think I’m worth the resources I consume.
