good vs. bad

It is very interesting how that in the autobiography, Augustine, he discusses how past actions or thoughts have become different in meaning over time. Actions he thought of good in hindsight turn out to be bad as he became older. This is also an exmaple of how the mind of individuals change over different course and eras of ones life. The idea of the mind changing can be connected with studies taking place in fields such as psychology. The work can be an illustration of a situation that is being conducted in a natural environment. It will be interesting to see what other developements occur or change as the book progresses.
