Connecting

Good and bad are but very readily transferable to that or this; the only wrong what is against it.

How can this be connected to a persons life?

Hi, Good and bad are but very readily transferable to that or this; the only wrong what is against it. Are you sure that you have typed this correctly? It seems incomprehensible.

Hi again,
Good and bad are names but readily transferable to that or this; This seems to mean that things in themselves are not 'good' or 'bad'. Those are just names people give to things.

the only right is what is after my constitution;<<< This still doesn't sound natural or clear.

the only wrong what is against it. Probably, these last

Clive,

Lolax has already asked this question before. Apparently she doesn't like or doesn't understand my answer. Maybe you can help.

See .

Besides the problem of its being 19th century English, you have to read the whole passage of a paragraph or two to get a clear read on the meaning.

Lolax, or Anonymous Person, do you have any further concerns?
