I think the idea that you can be a "good person" is a destructive fairy tale. The sorting of individuals into naughty and nice is not a good model of how harm happens. I wish more people could just accept that we all do evil things, often unknowingly. Much evil happens through no ill will. Part of being human is doing terrible things. It's not a reason to panic, but it's also not something that should be swept under the rug. All of the commenters saying "I think you are a good person" are like drug addicts. We can't handle the idea that we might be partly destructive, so we invent new moralities that are like drugs... they work in any situation to wash away the emotions of guilt. Stuff like "you tried your best" or "you did't know". But, like addiction, the real solution is that we accept that not every day is going to be awesome sunshine rainbows and sometimes it's good to spend time thinking about the ways you are bad, and the harm that you do.
