I couldn't disagree more. You aren't good or evil because of what you think, you are good or evil because of how you act. Therapy 101: we don't have control over our thoughts/emotions, the only thing we control is how we act on them

I think playing a goodie‐goodie who deeply struggles to be good could be extremely satisfying
