Summary

This quote suggests that those in positions of power or authority should occasionally overlook the faults or mistakes of their subordinates, just as a master might turn a blind eye to certain shortcomings of a servant. Similarly, if someone is in a subordinate role, they should choose to ignore or not act upon certain things they hear or are aware of to maintain harmony and avoid unnecessary conflict. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and adapting to different dynamics within relationships, and recognizing when to exercise discretion in order to maintain balance and effective communication.

In philosophy class I think we finally decided that 'good' is an infinitely recursive term - it can't be defined except in terms of itself. Good is good because it's better than bad, though why it's better to be good than bad depends on how you define good, and on and on.
