Understanding the Notion of Common Good

Have you ever wondered why common good is important for a certain new beginning? Let’s start with the basic definition of “common good”.

As a philosophical idea, the common good is best understood as part of a surrounding model for practical and realistic reasoning between the members of a political community. The common good is a significant notion in political philosophy since it plays a central role in philosophical expression about the public and private dimensions of public life. The happiness, future, love is connected to common good.

In normal political discourse, the “common good” refers to those facilities—whether cultural, material, or institutional—that the members of a society or community give to all members to fulfill a relational duty they all have to be concerned for certain interests that they have in common. Some examples include liberal democracy for road systems, safety, and security of the society, transportation system, etc.

Applying it in Real Life

One needs to understand that this power of now should be used for a better world. If we take the example of the current situation, it will be good to apply the concept of the common good. The pandemic has spread so much scare all over the world. If people come together to support each other for any reason like distributing medicines, kits, acts of compassion.

Everybody needs someone or something to rely on with full trust. Doing some common good to strangers would help manifolds. Those who have higher emotional intelligence will use this concept wisely.

Making a Better Life

The notion that everyone should self-help is a good. Everyone needs to step up no matter how much family, friends or strangers support. The concept of the common good is to push everyone for a better life. It is like a key to the lock. Once you see people helping each other, it instigates motivation.

Today, many are working together to find vaccines, give jobs to the unemployed, help people suffering from mental illness, and so on. Having such a notion helps to have a stable living.

Imagine if people became violent and mean towards each other only for a selfish reason right now, it would have been a total and utter disaster in this pandemic. Even though everything seems out of control, there are subtle practical ways to keep moving, and the common good is one.

Start with changes like patience and compassion knowing everyone is going through something. It makes a big difference.

Where is the Love?

There is a song called “Where’s the Love” by Black Eyed Peas. It has profound lyrics about the deprived state of the world. The words concentrated on death, children, asking questions about the abysmal world, killings, and terrorism, discrimination, justice, and corruption. At one point, the lyrics even tell you to take control of the mind in the world of change and insanity all around.
