• Control

  When you do not do anything kind or nice for other people, does that make you a bad person? Or merely existing and living your life the way you want? 

  Perhaps the bad person the one that points out how you're not doing anything nice or kind? Not helping others when you COULD be. 

  The entire logic that if you don't do action X then you hold characteristic Y is rather silly due to how arbitrarily defined it is.

  Some people just are the way they are. People will always be dumb, people will always be ugly, people will always be selfish, why bother being the naysayer that points it all out when you're all of those things yourself (From the very action of pointing it out), considering the fact that you're doing so with no intention of helping the person, only making them feel bad about who they are?

  Simple, because you want them to be what they are not because it would benefit you if they were. Labeling everything helpful as good and everything harmful as bad. Re-evaluating your morality and shifting the paradigm to one that favors your own personal gain, that recaptures negative personality traits as positive ones 

  That my friend, is called social control. The weak gaining power by corrupting the strong into believing their power is 'bad' and 'evil' thus making them disinclined to use it.

  We are all subject to this, including myself. In some aspects of our lives, we are the strong, in other aspects, we are the weak, but regardless of which side we are on, we are always engaged in this endless struggle for the feeling of power... the feeling of growing and overcoming resistance.
