I know
I know that I shouldn't think his life of sin for which he repented was 'good' in any way, but I can't help it.

>I can't help it
Get down on your knees and pray to God for help. Be sincere and humble about it. This was the only thing that worked for me, and I have been free from this degeneracy for almost a year now

It was a cautionary tale. He is telling you not to be like that. Nothing chad about it

Saints were all people popular enough to be remembered. Pious introverted monks don't end up canonized.

Buy becoming a chad in the rest of your lives and not succumbing to ressentiment.

It was an act of true evil, deontologically speaking. It was performed entirely out of malice, stealing for the sake of depriving the orchardman of his harvest. There was no justification to alleviate the action: he did not steal out of hunger or desperation for money and did not do anything by accident, dumping the spoils to some pigs nearby because he didn't feel like eating any of the pears. It was sinning for the love of sin.
