We like to say thank goodness for that.

Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the souls you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, with all the zeal you can, as long as ever you can

Look around the habitable world, how few Know their own good, or knowing it, pursue.

Abashed the devil stood, / And felt how awful goodness is.

Abash'd the Devil stood, And felt how awful goodness is, and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely

To love someone is to acknowledge the goodness of who they are. Through loving a person we awaken their awareness of their own innate goodness. It is as though they cannot know how worthy they are until they look into the mirror of our love and see themselves.
