BE GOOD TO ME BY JEFFREY LO (DOWNLOAD PDF HERE)
A series of projections read on a blank stage.
They appear slowly.
Almost too slowly.
I’ve been thinking lately.
Have you done that?
Lately?
Think?
Well.
I’ve been thinking.
I’ve been thinking about how to be good.
A good person.
What a concept,
Right?
Well, I’ve been thinking about how to be a good person.
Because.
It strikes me that it is important to consider how to be a good person.
So you can be a good person.
But then I thought,
Am I actually a good person if I need to consider how to be a good person?
Isn’t a good person just a good person?
Am I a bad person?
That would be terrible.
But also.
Even if I am a bad person.
If I am doing only things a good person would do.
Does that matter?
If a bad person is only doing good things,
Wouldn’t that just make them a good person?
Or a bad person masked as a good person.
But if the bad person masks as a good person until the day they die,
Is it a mask?
Aren’t they just a good person?
…
So any way.
I was considering what it takes to be a good person.
And in the end, I think considering what it takes to be a good person
Helps make you a good person
Because if you consider what it takes to be a good person
Doesn’t that mean that you care about being a good person?
And isn’t one of the most important parts to be a good person
Caring?
I don’t know.
I’m not sure.
It’s just something I’ve been thinking about/
Have you thought about it?
Are you thinking about it?
No?
Yes?
Well.
If you are reading this in your mind.
Aren’t you thinking this?
Is this
In fact
Just
You?
Are you a good person?
Are you a bad person?
What do you think?
What do you think?
Do you think?
Are you a good person?
Are you a
A
A
Person?
