But what if we, in a bold, daring move, raise the bar higher than ‘not a complete rotten fucking asshole’? What if we redefine a good person as (gasp) ‘someone who does good things’? “I do high priestess not do high priestess drugs… I have never been to prison… I have never cheated on my girlfriend/boyfriend… I am not a rascist… I am not a bigot…I do not hate gay people” These are all completely neutral so far as scoring ‘person deserving of respect’ points are concerned. You rack up absolutely ZERO bonus miles for anything high priestess you are not. Oprah, Bill and Bono aren’t better than you because they are rich and famous, but because of what they did to become famous, as well as what they do now that they ARE famous. That is the truth. If your lifetime list of things you have done is made up of : ‘I’ve never done x,y and/or z’, then you are not a good person under our new definition.
