    sometimes I wonder if I’m genuinely a “good” person or at least have the aspiration to become one, then I am reminded that actual adults like this exist.

      You experience the contradiction between your ideal self versus what you know you are, but then realize that others ideal selves are far worse than the person you are now. That contradiction indicates that maybe you are actually a good person relative to at least these people.

          NP. You wouldn’t be hanging out here in good faith unless you at the very least trying to be a good person. I know you are going through some shit right now. Hang in there comrade!

        Precisely, hence the square quotes - part of the human contradiction innit.
