See but the problem is you don't tell a person like that, that last line.
Because they don't have a moral compass.
Their conception of 'good' is 'what makes people in my social circle and who also share the group identifiers ive chosen... what makes those people happy?'
A narcissist has no capacity for moral reasoning outside of 'what is good for me and my reputation' and 'what can i get away with'.
Tell them 'do something good', and best case, you get a Kramer-esque attempt at doing something theoretically good, but undergone in a basically insane way that's likely to cause more collateral damage than good.
You really do have to go all the way back to 'we share our toys equally!' with these kinds of people.
