1.6 Doing Good

Socrates stated, in a variety of ways, that "to know the good is to do the good."

Being aware of how various inputs, or causes, create our life (as outlined in Section 1.1.), one might seek out frequent moral learning. This can be through conversations, reflections, readings, or lectures. Moral substance and beauty can be found in many of humanity's great wisdom traditions and philosophies. These are all more available than ever.

Steeping oneself in moral learning allows for the absorption of goodness. This is a critically important process – as we become the inputs we are surrounded by (Section 1.1). To do good, by default, one must become it.
