Doing shit for the rightime reasons. Even if I don't want to.

Depends what the $160 package was, anon.

You could try keeping it. You might get a court summons through the letter box one day though. See what happens, you could get away with it I guess

This is what morality boils down to. Do you do the right thing out of social guilt, or personal guilt?

If it is only ever social guilt, then you are likely a bad person who simply doesn't want to be caught (leading to isolation etc.) Bad however, is relative - if you consistently have feelings of wanting to murder someone, that is a far different bag of worms than the urge to shoplift.


Now, personal guilt - if you genuinely feel bad for doing bad things, then you are likely a good person. On top of this, if you are compelled to do nice things for others with no expectation of a reward, that is another strong point in the favour of a good person.

But this isn't exactly fair, as most people experience a mix of both, constantly and somewhat interchangeably. For example, a good person would never hurt a dog. But lets say they are having the worst day of their life and want to scream at something living - they might just terrify a dog by screaming at them, and then feel guilt and remorse later. But in the presence of peers, maybe this person decides to not shout, because it isn't socially acceptable - it's twofokd morality. The threat of being socially isolated is a handy backup for when a good person might lose themselves for a moment.

It's messy, but always go with what feels right to you. If that is social pressure, fine, do the right thing for a shallow reason. No-one would think less of you. But don't fight your true nature out of spite - if you genuinely feel bad for doing a bad thing, it will eat away at you until you make it right.

Tl;dr - do the right thing for whatever reason feels right to you.

Thanks. I think that was what I needed to hear.

Less self doubt, make a decision and stick to it, regardless of what other people would say or think.

As long as I'm not intentionally screwing someone else over.

You can either contribute to a making good society or contribute to a making a shit one. Look at the vast difference between how nice cities are around the world, it's mostly cultural.

Your intentions don't mean much, especially when you're trying to do logical backflips to justify something. Your actions are what actually has an impact.

I think your best excuse/justification here is actually shear stupidity.
