The question has never been "what is right and what is wrong." That's too easy. The question that really cooks our noodles is the difference between good and bad and good and evil. I didn't think of that, it's Nietzsche, but he's not known as "the man" for nothing. We've got to ask ourselves whether or not there is a difference between idealism and pragmatism, and ultimately which one is worth following. How many of our actions are dictated by guilt born of social conventions, and how many are really done in the name of an abstract, grander virtue? Every day we get older, was what we did really worth it?
I'll bet this was a lot more satisfying to write than it was to read :)

Hope Vail is treating you well! Keep posting despite my teasing--a
There is no such thing as abstract, grander virtue. Everything is tainted by the social. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere and have no language and no thoughts and don't let anything, physical or emotional, effect you. Oh, wait, but then you'd be dead.
