the word good involves alot of interpretation in its truth. most people referr to something as being good when it makes a positive step towards completing a goal. the reasoning to determine good is using logic and applying morales to the situation to determine what one would consider good.\n\nMost people have different meanings of good. to really discover what is good you kinda have to decide for yourself becuase someone else's idea of good might not be so good in your own interpretation of it.\n\nInterpretation is everything. It is why we must look deep inside ourselves with all our knowledge to find what we know is right and wrong. \n\nIn Example: while the founding fathers met to create the Declaration of Independence. the were doing what was considered wrong by the British government becuase they were commiting Treason to the Throne. However, they were doing what we consider to be what is right and good becuase they stood up to the british Throne becuase the British were imposing lots of taxes and Acts upon us without our say in the government. The Founding Fathers were great men in their decisions. to quote Thomas Paine "These are the times that try men's souls."

1) This was Socrates, and he made this statement at his trial.  (Read the "Apology" by Plato.  Or take my word for it.)  What he meant was something like, "If we just go through life never asking why, what's the point?"  He believed that to truly find "the good life" we need to be willing to ask hard questions and come to know the truth.\n\n2)  This is another statement that leads toward the same basic idea.  The speaker (I can't remember who said this one off the top of my head) is suggesting that we cannot be successful until we come to know who we really are--why we do what we do.  So examining one's self is the first step that we must take if we are to live successful lives.

Good exists. Bad is only lack of good. It does'nt exist. Light exists. There is a planet that sends us light. Darkness does'nt exist. There is no planet sending us darkness. It is just the lack of light. One example. To be stingy is considered "bad". But it is just not being generous -which is a moral quality. In order to be generous one has to have a high moral quality. Being stingy is just not having this moral quality.

What he's trying to say is.. you will _know_ what is good and right and true, you know what it is yourself. You don't know how you will know, but you will know. You just know. Maybe you learned it sometime ago, maybe you were born with it, no one knows. Somehow you will just know. \n\nOr more simply put, you'll know it when you see it. You won't know how you know though.

Not at all. Being good is always appreciated by people. Sometimes it seems bad to be good only because of surroundings and don't let that bad surrounding pollute you! A person's got to be firm

Satisfying basic needs brings contentment, but 'good' is a very subjective term. One mans 'goodness' is another mans interference. Most people prefer to have what they need and then determine their own subsequent conduct and beliefs.
