"هدف بالاتر از اخلاق باشد. صرفاً خوب نباش؛ خوب برای چیزی باش"
— Henry David Thoreau

Simplified Meaning:
Doing good things isn't always enough by itself; what's important is doing good things for a meaningful purpose. Imagine someone who always follows the rules and behaves well, but they never really help anyone or make things better. Now, think about a doctor who not only follows medical rules but also goes out of their way to care for their patients and find better treatments. The doctor isn't just good; they make a real difference. So, instead of just being a nice person, you should try to use your goodness to have a positive impact on those around you. This means finding ways to make your good actions help others or improve the world in some meaningful way.
