    Literally nothing is “good of its own merit”. Because literally nothing is intrinsically “good”.

    “Good” is a subjective idea, not objectively measurable, so it will always be in reference to another, i.e. relative.

      Maybe for you that’s the case, I definitely have a definition of morally good and both sides aren’t that. Accepting collateral for example. You can’t be good in my book if you’re doing that, and they both did.
