“People have long divided ‘good things’ into three groups:
• External goods – things like money, power, or good looks.
• Goods of the body – health, strength, and beauty.
• Goods of the soul – intelligence, wisdom, and virtue (good character).
The best and most important goods are those of the soul, because they come from within us. Since happiness is about how we live and act, it must be a good of the soul, not just an external thing like wealth or power.”
