Excerpt 2, from the book, ‘Moral Goodness in Our Life-time,’ By Ajayi James B. C.

Chapter 1, The Substance of Moral Goodness, Page 11.

 

1.1 The Summum Bonum.

Line 1 to 13:

Moral goodness is the Summum Bonum – the greatest good, the supreme good.Therefore, it should be the motive of all human actions and words that are pure and selfless, the centre of all human thoughts and feelings that are innocent and sanguine.It accommodates love and peace as a family; it guarantees joy and enhances longevity.It has no room for fear or hatred for anybody regardless of colours and creeds, stature or natural ability and inability, or physical configuration or physiognomy of the human-being; it is the absence of induced pain,worry or anxiety in any form to anybody. It is the nectar of life , the end of all endeavor, the ambition on which every heart is set.It constitutes the goal and objective of man’s desires for himself, which is a healthy, happy, peaceful and fulfilled life.
