   On Being a Good Person
Most people consider me to be a Good Person. This is because I try to be one and because that is the role I best fit in when others try to figure me out / place me in my proper place. If you’re not a Good Person be happy, be very, very happy. It sucks major balls to be considered a Good Person. If you’re considered just a regular human being who tries to be good, if you make a mistake you’re alright. If you’re considered a Bad Person no one gives a damn what you do or don’t do because it’s just who you are. But by God, if you’re a Good Person you are not only held up to your own dangerously / psychotically high moral standards for yourself, but every body else’s as well. You are held up to standards that they don’t expect anyone else to hold to, but you are because you are “Good.” And if you turn out to be a regular human being with human feelings and emotions and mistakes and etc. ad infinatum you shall be utterly fucked. You will be castigated, raked over flaming hot coals. If you’re lucky, the worst people will consider you to be is a hypocrite of the vilest extremes … normally though, you’ll be told that you’re the scum of the earth and going to roast in Hell (just not in those exact words). The only way to return to good standing with the rest of humanity is if you grovel and swear never to err again and to be the utterly perfect angel and fit into that mold they have of you. You discover that the people who you thought loved you even with your mistakes and human frailty actually don’t and will only love you if you fit their idea of Goodness and Perfection. You are doomed to live your life in misery, unaccepted for who you are. It’s the rudest awakening imaginable and the hardest role in life to escape from. If you are considered a Good Person, you have my complete empathy. If you are truly a Good Person you have my complete admiration, because I am not a truly Good Person, I’m only expected to be.
