Summary/Abstract: The presented article is a reflection of the authors on a scarcity of goodness in the social space. Taking into consideration that goodness is a prerequisite for a rewarding human existence, it is vital to be aware of the need for experiencing / the presence of goodness in all areas of human activity at every stage of human life. By recalling some titles of literature illustrating the manifestations of goodness in everyday social relationships, attitudes and actions, the authors would like to direct the readers’ attention to only selected areas which - at low cost of willingness, kindness, responsibility, may become a space where goodness will be not merely a sought-after value, but will become a genuinely real value. What is also worth noticing is the involvement and participation of art / theater in shaping positive needs, including the need for goodness.
