(Although in practice and in the short term, some good things will always be retained, at least temporarily, as a base for attacking other good things. Therefore, good-as-a-whole is almost always attacked on the basis of promoting some specific good. As when the supposed need for kindness in all circumstances is used to attack other virtues such as prudence or courage; or when mercy is applied in defiance of all justice.)
