I think I wrote a line of erotica very similar to that once. But then, I do mostly dabble in BDSM.

Excellent...so..if you're comfortable writing this down to an internal experience that doesn't require some external influence or happenings from maple syrup..."good" falls into the same camp, doesn't it?

Good things are many and diverse, but we recognize them when we see them.

Maple syrup is diverse as well, we also recognize it when we taste it. IOW, I think that you're communicating in vacuous nothings, currently.

And so, we are given proof of the goodness of maple syrup because we have all tasted it before.
Good food, good people, good things, and good feelings are a few of the infinitely many things that make the entity of good.

Or...and I'm just spit-balling here..."good" is a descriptive term, not an entity. It's not something that has to be "given" proof or otherwise, in the first place. I know, I know, radical suggestion.
(if anyone cares to recall...we're discussing that part of faith rooted in logic................:looks up: )

"Good" is also a noun, referring to something that makes things excellent or advantageous or virtuous.

"Good" is all things to all men.

If by that, you mean that there is "good" in everything, then, again, yes.
Invisible, immutable, ubiquitous, and all-powerful good.

But since neither of us have given any reason to agree...there is no logic involved in this..much like we have seen no logic involved in any roots of your faith.
