Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relative advantages and disadvantages of being a 'good' person. The author argues that the common view that goodness is always better than naughtiness is simplistic and unrealistic. He proposes that adults should learn to appreciate the advantages of both, since…these qualities are present in all of us as natural, inseparable characteristics. Both 'bad' and 'good' qualities can be helpful or harmful depending on the life situation in which they occur. Instead of attempting to suppress all 'bad' behavior, we should strive to control our 'bad' qualities in order to allow the 'good' qualities to shine through. Perfectly eradicating 'bad' qualities is impossible and undesirable. This thought-provoking read may change your perspective on not only morality, but also on childhood and adulthood. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
