It means to be a harmless person. Harmless person is valued by society because it doesnt represent potential danger to the whole societal structure.
Also powerfull persons are deemed good but for the different reason. Because they represent society and therefore they can not be against it.
What does it mean to be a bad person - it is to be potentionaly dangerous for society.
Our moral values are evolutionary ones. We are all tribalistic animals and our notions of good or bad are the same as to chimps ( though they abide those norms without being able to reflect on it abstractly , as many people can not!).
Now knowing this, now knowing that all our lofty ideals are biological ones( and therefore they are not ideals at all but instincts) you are free from moral delusions.
