A person whose conduct consists of not hurting anyone is not good; such a person is merely not bad. To be a good person involves the active pursuit of good. It is not enough merely to refrain from hurting other human beings; one must intercede on their behalf.... Nor is it enough to refrain from personally performing an injustice, for in order to be good one must seek out and rectify injustices performed by others.
