myself where this judgment comes from. What makes a man or woman good? Is it that they are born a virtuous person‚ or do they earn virtue by their actions? On what basis can a person say someone is good? Do they know they are good because they have followed certain rules of being good? If so‚ these rules would have had to be created at one point.
