It is a good question. I have to suggest there is an answer though. "Goodness" can come through tests and trials and the same tests and trials can cause a distaste for the society that they had to endure. Some people choose to look different for attention and are "posers". The good ones are usually victims and are showing the world that there are things beneath the surface that are not right.
