What is the greatest human good?

Compassion. Before any good work can occur, a drive must be there. Compassion is often that drive.

I also believe compassion is a one of the best ways to happiness. There is something about helping others that enriches one’s soul.

Cheese is very good

Working towards peace and understanding. However I don’t think its a goal that will ever be realized. I mean we can always work towards it but we will never achieve it. Everyone is too bent on being right even if it means giving up being happy.

To love. Basically, that covers anything that I would give more than a damn about in this world.

That’s easy, it’s expressed in so many philosophies in so many ways:

Thoughtfulness, maybe. Compassion and charity first, but with judgment close behind.

The right medications?

Empathy, understanding , compassion and love are the greatest goods. The ability to comprehend how someone else feels. To understand what all Humans share. To see what makes all Humans a like and find away to bring us together. To promote unity,harmony and not hatred and disharmony .

@georgeandwilbur, that made me laugh out loud.

to help those less fortunate than ourselves.

peace, love, happiness

Empathy and humor.

Preparedness

Compassion and the golden rule.

Awareness of others (compassion) and passionate work

Love.

Brewing and distilling.

Empathy. I think having empathy leads to everything else that we can do that’s good for one another.

Such a normative question. I don’t think there is any great good… or bad, for that matter. We can only say what we want, not what everyone should want. That makes no sense. There must be a real question underlying this one.

What should we be doing? We should be encouraging everyone else to do what means most to them. We should not be suggesting our view of what they should be doing. God! The presumption of it all!

Empathy and compassion and curiosity.
