The most painful moral struggles are not those between good and evil, but between the good and the lesser good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Moral evil is the immorality and pain and suffering and tragedy that come because we choose to be selfish, arrogant, uncaring, hateful and abusive.
Physical pain however great ends in itself and falls away like dry husks from the mind, whilst moral discords and nervous horrors sear the soul.
The greatest moral failing is to condemn something as a moral failing: no vice is worse than being judgmental.
The eternal conflict of good and the best with bad and the worst is on.
Suffering isn't a moral endowment. People don't always do well under duress, and it seemed to me to be truer to a fellow in that situation to make him angry.
When we are confronted with extreme situations, we forget about moral issues; we simply act and must then accept the consequences.
I tend to think that good and evil exist and that the quantity in each of us is unchangeable. The moral character of people is set, fixed until death.
In the real world in which we live, you always have to choose between evils. And in choosing between evils, you have to have moral criteria for how to make those choices.
The greatest evil is physical pain.
Pain is no evil, unless it conquers us.
