The Salesian formation guide, The Ratio, (at least in its earlier edition) states it clearly that formation guides while helping youngsters and young Salesians discern their vocation to Salesian religious life are to look for 'an abundance of good qualities'; and not just be satisfied by 'an absence of negative or bad qualities'.
There is a world of difference between the two. It is not enough to not do anything wrong or bad, or even do nothing at all. One needs to be passionate and active in doing good and striving to be good. Without that effort, one is already showing signs of being a parasite!
