what is good?

GOOD can be defined in various ways. Depending on a particular situation, "good" can be a shady concept. Good becomes shady in times of war when killing is a regular thing. Good in a simple sense can be defined as a person helping an old lady walk across the street, simply because he wants to help. Not because he will get money out of it. I guess the best way to define good is to know what bad is. Bad can closely relate to evil, such as doing something negative to someone without reason. Hurting an innocent animal for no reason is 'bad'. Helping out an innocent animal is 'good'. The contrast of the two words help define each other and help people understand them much more clearly. When a man gives a helpless starving child his sandwhich that he was saving for lunch, knowing that he has dinner to look forward to later is something that is 'good'. Ignoring the child and eating it anyway isn't necessarily bad, but it isn't good either.  People can define good based on certain beliefs they have, or what they were taught growing up. For example a lot of people base their beliefs on religion. The most logical beliefs of good only need common sense.
