Kesimpulan
Menjadi orang baik memang menantang karena adanya konflik internal, tekanan sosial, dan ketidakpastian pengakuan.
Namun, dengan konsistensi, kesadaran, dan dukungan lingkungan, kebaikan dapat dijalankan secara realistis.
Sulit bukan berarti mustahil; menjadi baik adalah perjalanan yang memberi manfaat bagi diri sendiri maupun orang lain.
