I guess there's no way to ask this that doesn't sound like a philosophy major trying to do their thesis at the last second so...
There's a lot of hero types here. You rush in to help when something happens and don't even think about it. I'd say that makes you good people.
Do you (or all of us here, I guess) think it's possible, if someone really tries, to start being a good person? Even if you've done horrible things? Like really, really bad things. Does the reason you did them matter?
Or maybe we're just meant to be bad and trying to pretend otherwise.
[ ...wow this sounds so much more melodramatic than he intended. ]

It might be harder for some people than others, but...
I have to believe change is possible.
It's the only way my life makes sense.

Or maybe the stuff you've done is too bad.

But I don't think that's a set thing. Like - it's harder on some days? And a lot easier when you have support.
There were times when I felt like it might be too hard for me to ever be "good" again, and I'm still not sure I've made it.
But I know I'm at least better than I was.
As for the stuff being too bad...
I mean, I'd need some examples. But going back to your original post, the reason does matter. The reason you're trying to be better matters, too. So do the circumstances.
In any case... I think it's always worth trying.
It's better to at least try to be a better person than you were before, than to just give up and decide you'll be bad forever, right?
