Abstract

Abstract
If even simple everyday greetings that partially form the subconscious cultivation of goodness have favourable effect upon human beings, would not the conscious development of the culture of goodness holistically impact human health even more favourably? In the following paper, first the basic concepts are identified: goodness, health, and culture. Next, analysing authors such as Anton Trstenjak, the paper confirms the thesis that the conscious cultivation of goodness in thoughts, feelings, and relationships has a positive effect upon human health. The third part explores the two tools of Christian spirituality (contemplation; examen) by the means of which human beings may direct their thoughts and emotions towards goodness, and develop the culture of goodness which enables them to experience the fullness of life.
