hero types don't make any sense to me in the first place. people always do things for a reason, and it's their own stupidity or naivete if they aren't aiming to at least benefit themselves somehow. whether that's gaining something monetary or material, or just to feel better about themselves, it's always smarter and more efficient than doing things thoughtlessly without regard for the fact they're just gonna lose collateral. and some might claim they're being selfless when they "do good" when they in fact are gaining something.

as for your question, I wouldn't know how to answer that. I don't put much thought into the moral affairs of others, and the world is unfair by nature. it's a world where two people who unintentionally did something shitty will get treated completely differently, with one forgiven by friends and family and the other locked away by the same. the latter might happen because that person who caused problems was different from others, so his intentions didn't matter.

you sound like you care too much about what others think about you. it's better and smarter to focus on doing what benefits you. some things can't be changed. Some can. some things are outside your control. some are within it.
