…rejecting the notion that virtue or (goodness) is an applied rather than a natural condition…that the will toward moral excellence or (goodness) is not (necessarily) assigned by (formal) conventions…(although a society scripted in exceptional manners would likely encourage lofty manners)…that seeks its (own) goodness for its (own) sake… rather than goodness‘ sake…(that nevertheless offers its own special rewards)…that, notwithstanding, would (equally) satisfy universal sentiments…and that a society, however primitive or advanced, seeks its own goodness because it is considered good for that society to do so…that it naturally follows its (own) immanent understanding of what is good, whatever its form, to begin with…setting aside, for the moment, such advantages that might otherwise accrue to that society…(and) that…such goodness, however, should never be confused with eternal standards of goodness or (moral excellence) that naturally evolve in communion with Humankind‘s (inherently) perfectible nature, that, properly informed, provides meaning and (further) insight and guidance into the essential nature of things or ideas or what it meant by ―Good‖…

An individual, irrespective of his or her material status, should be (otherwise) measured by the quality of that individual‘s Character and that ―fundamental‖ arguments of questionable design have less to do with that individual‘s economic standing but that individual‘s moral content, rather, that transcends class distinctions; that is to say, that individual‘s (natural) state of goodness; and that an individual, however rich or poor, may be either meanly disposed or kind and generous in consonance with his or her Nature

It is unreasonable to assume that (natural) goodness is either capable of self or mutual corruption because what is (naturally) good seeks to promote ―good things‖ (only)
92.
That an individual is (inherently) ―good‖ and that the corruption of (natural) goodness is understood within the context of conventional designs does not follow in the manner that (natural) goodness would never compromise itself inasmuch as it would be contrary to its (nature) to do so; each social unit being (naturally) good; that is to say, (natural) goodness, standing side by side with (natural) goodness, would (naturally) reject its mutual corruption as well as its own corruption and furthermore, the assumed absence of evil, understood as the antithesis of ―good,‖ would (otherwise) preclude the introduction of unwholesome examples seeking to promote a corrupting influence on (natural) goodness; moreover, were (natural) goodness
93.

‖ Goodness is grounded in a disinterested ―awareness‖ of Goodness or an ―indifference‖ to doing ―good‖ works
99.
‖ Goodness lies in Humility of Purpose; without intended purpose, however; that is to say, undetermined and without motive; an impartial or uncertain ―Will‖ to Goodness that internally defines the Self; a Goodness that does not issue from the Conscious Self but the Hidden Self, rather, that must necessarily refute its own ―apparent goodness‖ or the self-sustaining content of its (own) intentions
100.
Goodness, therefore, is ―ignorant‖ of its (own) inherent, however ―unknowing‖ Goodness; that is to say, Goodness is necessarily ―uninformed‖ of its (own) essential Goodness lest it stain itself with Pride
