"La buena persona no solo evita lo que está prohibido sino que tampoco desea nada que esté prohibido."
— Democritus

Simplified Meaning:
A truly good person not only stays away from bad actions but does not even want to do them. Imagine a child in a candy store. It's one thing for the child not to steal candy because they know it's wrong. But it's even better if the child doesn’t want to steal it in the first place because they understand and respect the rules. In life, just following rules isn’t enough; it’s about having the right mindset and intentions. For example, a person who is honest doesn't just avoid lying; they don't feel the urge to lie at all. To apply this idea in your life, focus on developing good values and attitudes, so you naturally want to do what is right without feeling tempted to do wrong.
