- social acceptance, we generally need friends and contacts to function
- you can assume you have some value (or at least not a burden) to society as people don't actively wish that you rather not exist
- it is easier to make a living - people prefer to work with non-bad guys. the definition of "good" is too wide to be meaningful, but any time of good is considered vastly better than bad.
- when you are in trouble, your friends might actually come and support you
- you're less apt to fall into self-loathing patterns if you keep getting positive reinforcement
- you're supposed to feel better if you're a good guy
so all-in-all, it's easier to function in society, and you might face rarer questions about the nature of your existence as people around you don't generally question why you are here.
is it worth the trouble?
