Goodness is not the easy Goodness
Illustration★★★★lukewarm thing we have
painted it to be, which offends every person who has
vitality. It is rather adventurous, attractive, dynamic. It
is a hard peak to climb; it is no foothill. It requires sacri-
fice and all the vitality one has. And even then we shall
never scale the peak but only arrive at heights from which
we can get sudden thrilling glimpses of its splendor. Let
goodness be good.
The point
Goodness is not passive or lukewarm but an active, challenging climb requiring all one's vitality and sacrifice, with the summit never fully reached.
