       | what determines what a good human being is like, and what a good
       | action is, etc.
       | 
       | As a result, our actions are either for the sake of this good as

       | ultimate end of human beings is and you will begin to put your
       | life in order. A failure to do so means you serve some other end,
       | perhaps one you do not realize you are serving.
