Kant notes that power, wealth, health, and satisfaction with one's situation can all be seen as things that bring "contentment" (Gluckseligkeit). But if a person enjoying these values does not have "good will," this will aggravate pride and arrogance.
康德並舉例說，權力、財富、健康和對自己狀況的滿足，都可視為幸福，但是擁有這些幸福的人，若不具備「善的意志」，則反而增益其自大與傲慢。
