Nope, not gonna do it.
What I DO want is to hear your best analogy for what it means to be a good person.
I was think about it today, good/bad and our interactions as human beings. This is what crossed my mind:
We are like a bull in the china shop of everyone else's emotions. There is the delicate balance between self-restraint and acting to your own instincts. And the only way to really avoid breaking something (not hurting another or yourself) is to completely leave the shop, which would be akin to emotional seclusion.
Anyone got something better?
(PLEASE NOTE: Within this challenge there is no mention of God. Just an examination of morals and their place in human relations. I promise to not bring God or anything to do with Him up unless prompted by someone else.)

". . . let the atheists themselves choose a god. They will find only one divinity who ever uttered their isolation; only one religion in which God seemed for an instant to be an atheist." -G. K. Chesterton
