Good adj. Morally right, beneficial, and of positive quality.
Good is one of the broadest evaluative words in language, spanning ethics, usefulness, and excellence.
In moral use, it points to action aligned with dignity, fairness, and care.
Psychologists have found that doing a single small “good act” increases the likelihood of doing another by more than 40%, because prosocial behavior activates the brain’s reward circuitry and reinforces itself.
"How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world."
- William Shakespeare
The good we choose to do each day is quiet, steady, true,
A plain‑spoken resolve in all we say and do;
It needs no boast or shine to prove its worth or might,
For good is simply shown by only doing what is right.
