What Is Good?

The most important question facing wo/mankind is 'What values should we live by in order to live the genuinely good life?' An important feature of the good life is that it should involve a concern for others. Another is that of contemplation. How many of us take the time for reflection on our behaviour? Aristotle said 'We ought not to listen to those who counsel us to think as mere mortal men should think, and to remember our mortality. Rather we ought to strive towards attaining something great, and leave nothing unattempted in the effort to live comfortably with the highest thing in us.'
