A good three-fold [[Human being|human]] [[analogy]] is someone who is inwardly a healthy and intelligent individual, good, honest and truthful—someone who is outwardly modestly decent in dress, speech and actions, always kindly, generous, willing to help, and skillful in defending truth and right with wisdom, expressing good [[Moral|character]]—someone who with good reason is spiritually delighted and pleased with both the self-knowledge of true personal goodness and the personally reassuring, consistent, successfully genuine self-expression of goodness in being an actual benefit to everyone else in the whole community. We have the inner being, the outer expression, and a richly personal self-delight in both, as one well-balanced healthy individual.
