Referring to http://fatherdaughtertalk.blogspot.com/2008/07/moral-relativism.html , it has been pointed out to me that Israeli children have been killed by Arab terror, and one may peruse the iconography of dead Israeli kids.
Well, well. How did that escape me? I must be getting old, I suppose. Anyhow, Morality is not setting up examples and counter-examples; not debate nor forensics; not endless argument and the rule of vendetta.
IF we cannot escape the prison wherein we endlessly commit crimes and spend our days measuring our crimes to those of our enemies, we will never attain any glimpse of Morality, be it absolute or relative.
Morality, absolute or relative, forbids the way we act in the present day: Anyone who has seen the Absolute...or the Great Relative, if you will...will be changed !!!! Those who speak of morality today are not changed beings; they are nothing but word-jugglers, jongleurs des paroles. The words may change, the arguments may change, but the souls remain the small, cramped things that flourish in the 21st century.
