If you spend your time being and/or learning to be the best person you can, you will make life better for those around you. This is a dynamic activity, one that directly influences how you treat others. This means that both are sympathetic concepts, not isolated. The most horrendous human may do good helping others (BTK and predator priests are good examples), yet ultimately they are still horrendous. The best person ever could spend all their time on following some outdated guideline of what is good yet never truly help another person.
