Summary

This quote highlights the dual nature of the term "good." It suggests that "good" can be understood in two distinct ways. First, it refers to something that is objectively and universally considered good or morally right. Second, it takes into account personal perspectives and circumstances, acknowledging that what may be good for one person may not necessarily be good for another. The quote underscores the flexibility and subjectivity of the concept of "good," encompassing both context-dependent actions and universally valued principles.
