A person is not called righteous unless he is good

A person is not called righteous unless he is good

A person who is 'righteous' only by fulfilling religious commandments but is not a kindhearted person is not considered truly righteous.

("And a person is not called righteous unless he is good; to what is this compared? To a gold bell with a pearl striker. An evildoer who sins, to what is he compared? To an ugly woman whose nose bears a polyp. A righteous person who suffers and an evildoer who prospers—they are both weighed equally. - Yalkut Shimoni Psalms 847")
