        abstract = {This essay aims to capture the intuition that the moral person is, in virtue of being such, favored over the immoral person to lead a meaningful life.  It is argued that the reason for this is that the moral person is open to affirmation from others in a way that the immoral person is not.  Central to the argument is that idea of psychological health.  Being affirmed by others is a fundamental aspect of being psychologically health.  Thus, being moral and being psychologically healthy are said to dovetail with respect to leading a meaningful life.  The argument regarding psychological health draws upon, and extends, P. F. Strawson?s seminal essay ?Freedom and Resentment?.  Also in this regard, Wittgenstein?s argument against the possibility of a private language is extended to social behavior generally.  }
