A backpacker is traveling through Ireland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Irish accent:

"You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No."

He continued "Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me McGreggor the wall builder? No."

"Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me McGreggor the pier builder? No."

"But ya #### one goat.."

 
No.

Most of us don't carry out many of the stupidest thoughts that creep into our heads. We don't always express our true opinions which would only hurt or anger others. Humans probably would be extinct now if everyone could know everyone else's thoughts.

 
You are what you do. 
In the world where all our thoughts are exposed, I wonder who would be judged the "better" person: one whose thoughts were relatively good and whose actions were as well, or one whose thoughts were not so good but whose actions were just as good as the other person's. 

 
Thinking something, and acting on your thoughts are totally different things

I love my wife dearly, but she wouldn't like what my other head is thinking about

 
I have some truly warped thoughts. If I just had one wire crossed somewhere in my brain I’d be in big trouble.

Oh, and no.  I’m not sure I’m a good person anyway, but if anyone could read my in my mind the things I don’t say, that would definitely remove all doubt. 
This was my first thought but it included a little plea for time.  If the person with access to my head could just stick around long enough to negotiate the terror exposed at first glance hopefully they would at least conclude I'm harmless. I would settle for that.

I would prefer they not stick around.  It’ll only get worse. 

 
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard.

As Matuski said, compared to others, I’d be just fine. 

 
My thoughts (PG rated): I hate people.  My kids are annoying. All kids are annoying.

My words: hey y'all, good to see you! Hey kids let's go outside and play. Sure I'll volunteer to lead youth group! 

:wall:

Gotta say, I’ve read the book about his standards and for at least the first half of it I am doing waaaayyy better than his standard. 

 
Once there was a Brit, a Mexican, and an American on an airplane.  The British dude tosses a bag of tea out the plane door.  They other guys ask why he did that.  He says "We have so much tea in my country, we can just afford to throw it away!"  Then the Mexican guy throws some peppers out the window and says "Well we have so many peppers we can just toss them out!"  Then the American grabs the Mexican and throws him out of the plane.  The British guy asks him why he did that and he says "That guy murdered my wife!"

This is me to a T.  One of the reasons I didn't have kids of my own.  There was a good chance they would be a brilliant smart person or on heck of a serial killer.  I played it safe, world owes me one.

Those two aren't mutually exclusive. But yea, thanks.
