If you've heard it used as an exclamation, as I understand it, it's sort of like "walla." Walla, but I have a lot of work to do! Goodness, but I have a lot of work to do!

If you are talking about the noun, jbachman has done a nice job with "What is good is right and beneficial and useful, not just for oneself but for everyone."
