I'm gonna start using a pro gamer strat against moral OCD that I call "Cartoon Villain Maxxing". Whenever OCD tries to convince me I'm inherently evil or whatever, I'll just say "yup and damn proud, muhahahaha 😈". Gonna Grinch out in a house that looks like this,
stare menacingly at the townspeople down below, blare this out of every speaker,
and... Continue doing my best to be kind, like I always have. Because there's no such thing as inherent goodness, or inherent evilness.
Maybe I'm a villain. Who cares. I'll continue trying my best to be kind anyways
OCD is a fear driven illness, and from what I've read one of the more effective ways to manage OCD is to accept/make peace with what you're fearing may be true, and go on living anyways. In my case, saying "yep, maybe I'm inherently evil" and continuing to go about my day as normal. Accepting it may be true doesn't make it true, and not fearing the possibility of it being true makes it alot harder for OCD to dig its hooks in and make you obsess.
If one tries to be kind to others, if one's acts are kind, if one treats the people in their life with kindness and respect... Does it really matter if they're "secretly inherently evil", or whatever? Because materially, it's one's actions that define someone, not their "inherent goodness/evilness". There's no such thing as inherent goodness/evilness!!
