Why be good?

[Losty]

Kinda sounds like the whole original sin thing~

I agree.  This is why I'm not worried about being good.  The impetus for everyone to behave is your guys' thing.  I'm interested in behaving in my own self-interest.  Which can overlap with 'being good', but is a very different motivation.

Being what society calls "good" is almost always in your own best interest. When is the last time you axe murdered some asshole who you felt was overly aggressive with your child? When is the last time you raped someone to satisfy an urge? When is the last time you robbed someone because you couldn't afford your favorite fancy drink? I know, I know but it's so cool to be extreme and hardcore. Being "good" is just too mainstream. I get it, you're going against the grain. Sticking it to the man. Don't let anyone try to control you by telling you you're good. But until you pummel some little old lady for the last box of cocoa puffs or kill your coworker to make sure you get the promotion, I'm not buying it.
