Common Good
General Welfare or General Good. This is, in a sense, the higher law of Cosmos, the direction in which the Cosmic Magnet draws us and to which we must strive.
Each possibility in step with the Cosmic Magnet reaches toward the Common Good. (INF II, 492)
I shall specify the qualities distinctive of seeking the Common Good. First—constancy of striving. Second—ability of containment, for poor is he who denies but the seeker of truth is worthy to work for General Good. Third—ability to labor, because the majority do not know the value of time. Fourth—the desire to help without prejudices and without usurpation. Fifth—renouncement of personal property and the acceptance for safekeeping of the fruit of the creativeness of others. Sixth—expulsion of fear. Seventh—display of vigilance amidst darkness. (LMG II, p 189)
