Is “The Good” in any way related to well-being?
The Good is "concerned" with being.
Well-being as its often used seem to revolve primarily around actions and their consequences, where being is more about being a good person, about character and virtues.
Well-being seems to be focused on political and social concerns, while being is focused on something far deeper than any of these things, about the essence of our life itself.
Its relationship to well-being, is that of it's fruits. A good person is ultimately a gift to humanity, rather than being detrimental to it, they serve as vessels for it's restoration, to bring into it's proper order. It's what's contained when I tell my daughters, they are not here to curse the world, but to bless it .
