Ask a Catholic

What I think is you are suffering from the dunning-kruger effect. Trying really hard to be superior to everyone else, and while that is easy to do online in a forum, there is a long way to show yourself as anything of worth in real life. You wouldn't survive a week on earth without other humans.

I am good because it is the best for me. It pays 10x more to be good than all the trouble of being bad. Surely we all get fooled, but I prefer to give trust to other people, than to go deep into darkness. Also, I am too lazy to be evil.

I'll bite.  Superior to everyone else at what?

This little sequence was a mistake.  I was trying to illustrate a point, but I blew it by using a sloppy example, and people want to argue about the example's sloppiness rather than the point that I didn't really get across.

You're good because it is the best for you.  Which means your motivation isn't being good, it's doing what's best for you.  So if what's best for you in some instances was doing bad, or abstaining from what is good, you'd do that instead, right?  If so, we're in complete agreement on what 'should' be motivating our behavior.
