The goodness that roared
Commentary
In the study of the martial arts, the student learns the difference between the good, the higher good and the superior good. If one seeks to do something that will benefit another and that very act will also reap a reward for the doer of the deed, then that person is said to perform the good (even though there may be an ulterior motive attached to it). If, however, one desires to assist another person without any personal regard to whether or not such an act will be of personal advantage, then that person is said to perform the higher good.
