It is often found commentaries that describe common good as extremes of anarchy, as expressions that on one end present a justification for system interference and on the other as an idea of omnipotence over the people who is typically labeled as mediocre and incapable of deciding on their own about their matters and circumstances. However, common good is divine a mandate we all have as individuals; to aim for and to work towards. It is what defines the relationship between science and reason, because a science where its object is to benefit only the self or to enhance the egos of the recipients is what defies reason and so it segregates itself from faith which is what make us creatures of God with dignity, identity and individuality because care exists for our neighbor and peer.

These forces fight against human kind because they have been defeated by God already the infinite times they have attempted to go against Him. The good side is the side of God who in His infinite love, He is helping us be protected against that menace which infinite number of times tries to break our convictions and our love for our creator. In our times, as in infinite number times before, there is no difference and the threat is again of evil trying to present itself as more powerful than God. The first strategy against God ha...
