Nothing can be good for a Humanist without being Good for all. The latter claim assumes there is an a priori "good", contradicting your former claim. ********** Yes, if good cannot contradict itself and do some evil i.e. a good end justifying a bad means, then it must have some life outside one's personal perception of it. If one does good in his own perception, but it does another evil, but the doer does not see this, then, if it is true that the good is nullified here, then good has a greater judge than one perceiver, or possible all observers as well. It transcends the perceiver. If all observers are gone, has good therefore not died? In saying "all", one is being objective, or removed from establishing how one knows the "all", and therefore establishing an a-priori, or manifest groundwork for ideals that survive the observer. Is good an ideal or a value of man that he creates in reference to his feelings? Do ideals live beyonds man's feeling of the possibility of their (ideal's) being the framework or prototype of nature, as a plan is to a construction? Or is the underlying mechanism of nature not the corruption of ideals (i.e. imperfect triangles in nature), nor the best possible adherence to law, but something more basic that we do not yet understand? Gold was created by nature. Should we not worship it in that sense? Should we try to discover what we should be doing with gold rather than what we should be doing, that we can do without it? Gold and good was written into nature by its act of existence, whence-ever it came into being. Man takes from these things what he perceives may do him good and what make him feel good. This too (his perceptions), were written into him. All things natural will continue on in flux long after man has gone, as the sea rolls on after the ship has sunk. Aurum Sacrum horus. EC<:-}
