Here are some of them:
- good-hearted
- good-natured
- good-humored
- good-looking
- good-tempered
- goody-goody
We all have our own perception of 'good' ...and each is probably like a snowflake, with none being exactly the same.
And 'good' usually also has ideas like 'benefit' and 'well-being' come to mind.
Benefit can be temporary ...and can often not be good, if not temporary.
Examples of this is prescribed drugs, that benefit in aiding healing certain things, or conditions. But, several of these prescription drugs, if not taken in the prescribed dosages, and for only the limited prescribed period ...and both both addictive & dangerous.
Strawberries are considered one of the healthiest foods ...yet, some people are allergic to them. Therefore, it certainly would not be recommended for those people to consume foods they are allergic to.
So, some things that are usually good, are not always good ...and those things that are good for some people are not good for others.
That would seem to bring up a very convincing point ....should I then just live in a way that is good for me??
Yet, there is also the argument that I don't know what is good for me. The common responds then ...is that it is my decision to choose what is good for me.
Yet again, though we often take this line of thought ...we still tend to live in a world which is often not very good.
So, with that ...do we say it is merely bad environment, and all we have to do is fix the environment?? And a corresponding comment also very often is that whatever unhealthy (not bad) influences are in our society ...well, we can just fix them too.
But, how do we decide what to fix ...if we can't agree upon what is good and what is not, or what needs fixing?? Those very same people would continue to argue that it is their decision to choose what is good for them ...and they don't want someone to impose into their lives, telling them what needs fixing.
