Is it really 'good' to be 'good'

Somedays, back I read this article in The Times of India. The discussion was whether 'Is it good to be actually good'? It did cite examples of Kareena Kappor? and Kajol. The survey was made for the age group of 16-22 and majority of the percentage preferred to be Kareena instead of Kajol.

Firstly , it would be too difficult to define 'good' or 'not good'. Every thing depends upon our perception of looking the things. There is no strict definition of good and it is impossible to classify our actions into 'good' and 'not good'. Even the murderer does not find bad in his act but it is the perception of the society that judges him 'not good' ?But what I have experienced in life is that every person is just good for himself, till and till his/her interests are being fulfilled.Just there is one exception to this relation that is the feeling/devotion of a mother for her child.What defines 'good' and 'not good' for me? Defining 'good' in life would be  trying to take up the responsibilities expected from every relation, fulfilling every edge to the maximum possible effort I can give into. But obviously my 'good' does not define to put my self at worst state and still taking up the things. In that state, I would have to be 'not good'.

So, it would always be controversial to say 'good' or 'not good'. for if u always try to be good , u get totally dictated by being good and get involved in fulfilling others expectation and thus suppressing oneself to the extent of killing self identity and needs.
