It is mostly used as meaning "satisfactory" in relation to the context it is used.You may also refer to the dictorial definition.No rocket science here.

More than anything else, I tend to live by the "Golden Rule." I try to treat others as I would like to be treated myself.

If I tell someone that I will call them, or pick them up at a certain time, I try to make sure that I "walk my talk." (Because I don't want to disappoint anyone, or keep someone waiting a long time for me, if I can help it.)

And, I care about other people's feelings. (Maybe even more than my own feelings at times.) I just hate to see anyone hurt....(Because I've been hurt myself in the past and it sure doesn't "feel good!!")

Here are two different versions of "good versus bad" that might take place in families....

Mary's mother expects her to "dress for success" at all times. If Mary wears an old pair of jeans, or a faded tee-shirt, her mother gets upset. So, Mary spends a good amount of money each month trying to keep her wardrobe "updated." Her mother thinks that this is the smart thing to do and money "well-spent."

Susie is from a completely different type of family. Susie's mom believes in being frugal. When Susie spends money on new clothes, her Mom gets nervous and upset. She is constantly telling Susie that she is better off "making do with what she has" and saving her money for a "rainy day."

I think a lot of our views and beliefs about "good" or "bad" came from our parents and family. (And our early upbringing.) Don't you? Thanks, CK
