โEvery art and every kind of inquiry, and likewise every act and purpose, seems to aim at some good.โโ
โ Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, Book I, Chapter 1
Simple Explanation:
Aristotle says everything we do โ our jobs, studies, choices, and goals โ is trying to achieve something good. Even small actions (like making coffee) connect to bigger purposes (like staying energized to work).
Why You Get It:
โ โCoffee Example โ You brew coffee (action) to feel awake (good result) to do your job well (bigger good).
โก โHidden Pattern โ All actions form a “goodness chain” ending with happiness/life purpose.
