The Good of Good.

Last week, we talked about Glaucon and the different types of good that come from or as a result of doing good. There is good that one does because of the effect that comes from it. This good seems to be what most people strive for, because they will get a good consequence from it. But most good seems to only be good except for the consequence. There could be many things one can do that is good, but will produce bad consequences, which makes one wonder if the good is really even good? If smoking is good at the moment it is happening, but is bad afterwards, was it really ever good? Its considered bad, which makes me think that the consequences something brings seem to mean more than the actual thing.
