Is it a person's thoughts or actions that make someone a good person?
I'm going to start off by saying I know I'm not a good person, I lie, manipulate, steal. I'm selfish and self centered, I have anger issues, I'm greedy, sinful, and I don't care about fair nearly as much as I do making it seem fair that I got . The thing is though, that I don't get caught; I make sure my lies are as close to the truth as possible, my manipulations are usually subtle, I rarely steal anything major, usually something that could easily go missing or something that can be easily hidden with no witnesses. I hide my anger and hate behind a mask of smiles, and I've trained myself to be helpful automatically. I constantly evaluate myself, my interactions with others, and my motivations, and while everybody around me believes that I'm an annoying, slightly lazy, trustworthy, mostly great guy with maybe a few issues, but otherwise normal (yes, I have asked). I'm able to fake empathy enough to help people through their problems, I'm a trustworthy confidante, and I work with Alzheimer's residents where my job is to keep them happy, engaged, and content, which I am very good at. So is a person a good person if everyone believes they are, or is the only way to be a good person to do the right things for the right reasons? I do little nice things for people all the time because people notice the little things like offering help, and responding with no hesitation the way people expect a good person to do. Considering all of that, could I still be considered a good person?

Some people can see straight through that and cause them lots of pain by just being around you. No sorry I don’t think you are a good person. I think you are acting like one which can easily be done. Till what guess what you can’t keep that up forever. The truth will come out and you will be exposed for what you are.
