FAQs:

Are actions and deeds the same?


In general an "action" is anything you do -- blink, snore, jump, eat -- while a
"deed" is something you accomplish -- something you work to achieve, and achieve. We talk
about "good deeds" like helping poor people, rescuing people in danger, or righting a wrong.

What makes human act good or bad?
An act is called good because it has the right sort of perfection of goodness, and
an act is called bad because it lacks something of this goodness. But it is necessary for
every act either (a) to have the entire fullness of its goodness or (b) to lack something of the
entire fullness of its goodness.
