Goodness

Only one is good, God.

Christians are to transition from the selfishness of the flesh to the selfless love of Christ by allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us.

Buddhists attempt to conquer desires (flesh) but ultimately can only suppress them. Christians have the opportunity to exchange selfish desires for ones that seek the good of others.

What is written in David?

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed.

Man is sinful and incapable of doing good on their own. If one walks in the spirit though the "goodness" of God should shine forth, with all the glory going to him for what we accomplish through him. Sadly, some can't tell the difference between their own good works and the good that God brings to us in our heart that is only achieved by faith. To much "good" is still the same as in the days of Jesus. Pharisee fasted, wore scripture books around their necks, all kinds of religious things yet none of that really mattered. So this "good" you seek is only achieved through Jesus as we yield to him.
Should we consider ourselves as bad?
I Cor 10:13
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

IF you want to be free in Jesus, you have to see yourself through the eyes of God. That the capacity from the born again spirit is so much that while one can still stumble, this state of holiness that is only achieved by faith can persist and grow into a Jesus like person. You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
