Kinds of Goods

I thought it was interesting how Glaucon made three categories for the different kinds of goods.
We do things because of their end result, for the sake of the good, or a combination of both. I've never really thought of this and I am becoming more and more conscious of when I make a decision and most importantly why I chose what I chose. Once you become more aware of the decisions that you make everyday, I think that this concept could actually change your everyday routine. Notice, Glaucon never mentioned anything about right and wrong. It was simply asking why without any ethical or moral weight.
