We are performative beings, often preferring the appearance of goodness without worrying too much about whether something is ACTUALLY good. This has become worse with social media, but it's always been a part of our nature. We can see that in the words of Christ and the apostles as they condemned people who were into performative actions but lacked a truly selfless heart. This brings up an important lesson for Christians: just because something has the appearance of "good" doesn't make it good. God knows the heart including our selfish ambitions, wants, and desires. When we simply "perform" like righteous people but do it with a corrupted heart, scripture makes it clear God finds this distasteful.
