A good person doing good acts make their religion, beliefs, and culture good. No religion, belief, culture, or person is all good or all bad. Ending a wrongful act is good for both a person and their religion, beliefs, and culture. We can respect a religion, belief, culture, or person and abolish a wrongful act.
Denial stops a person from knowing an act is wrong.
A person who learns to admit and stop a wrongful act is a noble person. An honorable loving person would not knowingly harm or cause another person pain.
