After this experience, I have not only managed to become a better person, but I have also come to understand that I have a moral responsibility towards complete strangers. As noted by Kierkegaard, if I wish to live a good life and call myself a Christian, I must move from the default setting of being an admirer to that of an imitator. By imitating, more specifically, serving and loving the people around me, I am now closer to being a true Christian. Furthermore, even though the motive behind the actions may not be that of good will, if they promote happiness, and I turn them into a habit, they may eventually turn into something of moral value. In other words, if we practice virtue and if we aim for the maximum principle of happiness we are closer to being a person of virtue, an ethical person even though our initial motive was not that of good will.
