Quote by Aristotle
For just as for a flute-player, a sculptor, or an artist, and, in general, for all things that have a function or activity, the good and the well is thought to reside in the function, so would it seem to be for man, if he has a function.
Summary
This quote suggests that like any skilled individual or object with a purpose, the true goodness and fulfillment of a human being lies in fulfilling their function. Just as a flute-player achieves excellence by playing the flute, or an artist excels in creating art, human beings can find their purpose and satisfaction by actively engaging in their own unique function or role. It implies that discovering and pursuing one's function is essential in striving for personal fulfillment and achieving the "good" life.
