Che cosa significa a good cause ?

Vedi una traduzione

Generally, a good cause is something that is worth fighting for, such as gender equality and stuff like that. In specific context, it could mean other things as well. For example, ‘we are doing this fundraiser for a good cause’. (Charity)

In the sentence in question, ‘good cause’ is a loosely restricted concept. It could be anything that’s of meaning and potentially beneficial to a person, a group or a community.

So basically, the sentence means something like ‘you can only see someone for who they really are (their ethics, values, what they see as important things in their lives) when they go out of the way to fight a losing battle simply because they believe it’s the right thing to do.’
