Early post.
So how was your Christmas guys? Mine was spend with family and then at night with my online friends cause my irl ones weren't available.
>>7240051>Could you call a person, who has forgotten their selfish motive while building up the goodness of their work, yet whos only reason to start it up was purely self-centered, a noble human being?>How would you name an individual, whos purity of heart got tainted by egocentric actions, but still gives away a lot to the world - but he does it for those extra pats / money / ego / family / health etc.>What if they are both aware of their flaws, past and present~?It is not the intention of a work that matters but the result and how it gets there. In their attempt to feel good they help someone else...why do they do it, doesn't really matter. The nature of man after all isn't determined by his birthright but by his actions. Through actions even the most noble intentions can turn foul and even the most evil of schemes can be used for good. As i write that i realize that such labeling is also useless. Because how can i know what was an evil plan or a noble cause if their effects are opposite?
Thus I conclude that both the people you described are noble, their action are after all positive to the world. It doesn't matter if one begun his work for the sake of himself or not, if I were to judge him I could only judge his action in the end.
And finally the knowledge of their mistakes is only theirs to know and feel the burden thereof.
If they feel as if their nature is corrupted or somehow wrong, then they should feel content in knowing that the good they brought in the world isn't diminished by their past or present selfishness.
