Simplified Meaning:

Being good isn't just about not doing bad things; it's also about not wanting to do bad things. Imagine you find a wallet full of money on the street. A person who is truly good won't just walk away and leave it there or try to return it because it's the right thing to do. They also won't even feel the urge to keep the money for themselves. Think about a situation in school where answers for a test are available. A good student won't just avoid cheating because they fear punishment. They also won't feel tempted to cheat, as they truly care about their own learning. It's important to not only act correctly but also to have a mindset that doesn't crave doing something wrong. Changing how we think changes our behavior, leading to a more genuine and kind-hearted way of living. In life, striving for real goodness means developing an inner sense of what is right and letting that guide your actions.
