If truly good activity is essentially social, the moment to which one would say stay is the moment that actualizes love understood as mutual recognition. So, to be truly good, activity creative of intellectual and aesthetic goods requires others with the developed capabilities required to appropriate them.
The weak person who misunderstands "recognition" as honour and material reward granted to the superior by the inferior lacks the fully developed virtue required for activities truly good in this sense.
