"How do we find out how good an individual is capable of being?"

Maybe each Individual is capable of being just as good as they are capable to be bad. Would that even the score and make the problem disappear?

Wait, but then the question of "what is good?" arises... What makes someone a "good human being"? And how does this tie in with "having a good life"?

Then rises the question of "how do I not get fucked over in life?" as well. So it gets confusing.

Where to even beging, is good universal? Do the criteria that make "a good being" good constant, or does it mutate over time?

I there a single, or even multiple non-contradicting, right answer to this question? What is good?.
