[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2715485, member: 4235"] I think I am a good person. I believe a good person is one who holds a rational hierarchy of values, and remains loyal to them. I think I do a pretty good job of that. I believe a rational man's highest value is his Self, and his own regard of it. This is the value that allows him to experience all other values. Like the Chairman of the Board sang, "for what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught." After that, his liberty to freely pursue his values should figure pretty highly. Of course, the other people who give the most value and meaning to his life should rank among a good man's highest values as well. My litmus test for whether an action is good is, does it make me love my Self more, or less? [/QUOTE]
