I think that is a great definition of what makes a "good" person.
But I'm not sure that is the majority of people anymore.
All people in the military are hurting others for personal gain. All police officers and correction officers are hurting others for personal gain. All people in the banking sectors are hurting others for personal gain. All people on welfare are hurting others for personal gain. All people in advertising are hurting others for personal gain. All people who work in government are hurting others for personal gain. All politicians are hurting others for personal gain... and therefore.... and this is the big one... Anyone who votes for a politician is hurting others for personal gain.
That's well over half the country.
Therefore I'm not sure the majority of people are "good". Many are, millions are. But not the majority. Not anymore.
I think that's a pessimistic way of looking at it. Their are many, especially in the armed forces, who think they ARE doing the right thing. That doesn't make them evil. Just naive.
who think they ARE doing the right thing
Every non-jewish SJW THINKS they are doing the right thing. Unfortunately, what we think and the reality of life is often worlds apart.
I do not believe for a single moment that the universe gives "points" for "thinking" we are doing good things. That's why "the road to hell is paved with good INTENTIONS".
But not good BEHAVIORS.
Depends on your beliefs. If you believe in a creator, you may be more inclined to believe that each person will be judged on their own merits.
