Is being a "good" person overrated?

I recently had a dream that inspired this thought.

Spoiler: Dream Babble

I was on the Niners and for some reason our team decided to protest and throw our jerseys and lanyard IDs into a pile. I joined them of course. The coach (who looked like a Harbaugh) came back and was upset. He immediately started to fire/cut players moreso over the IDs than the jerseys. I started to panic and realized I had my ID so I was good. I flashed it to the coach and he didn't trip. But I checked my ID and it was Mark Curry's (Comedian not the Diddy one). And I saw that my ID was across the way, on a counter. I panicked and realized I needed to flip the ID's face towards my chest so no one else could see. Then I woke up.

Do we all just need to get it how we live and disregard how others see us? Or is how we are perceived more important than what we are led to believe?

you should want to live your life in a principled, honorable fashion.

Easy to live like an animal.


Why not challenge oneself

It’s not overrated. Being a genuinely good person and doing the right thing all the time even in the face of mockery and ridicule is one of the hardest things to do ever.

To address the headline, its only overrated if you expect things.

Be good. Just be principled and not a doormat.

There’s a difference between being a nice person and a pushover/doormat.

this dream almost as crazy as that time i dreamed that the falcons made the super bowl but their QB was injured, so they signed 58-year-old Michael Jordan to play QB (he didnt do very well)

Just don't be a piece of shyt . When everyone is shytty the world is shytty. When everyone is nice the world ain't so damn shytty. When you see a dog, kick it. Basic tenents of life.
