An idea from Ethics

Good and bad are not qualities sitting inside things. The same music is good for him that is melancholy, bad for him that mourns; for him that is deaf, it is neither good nor bad. Good is whatever really helps you become the person you are aiming at.

From Ethics by Baruch Spinoza
