Morality For The Masses

Referring to the preceeding post: http://fatherdaughtertalk.blogspot.com/2008/07/wherein-i-miss-point.html

This is a picture of a Private Language of Moral Discourse: a duplex domicile, yet half abandoned; a sign of stress and distress: making do in bad times and uncertainty. It shows that everything is not as it should be. Instead of the many living together, the Du as well as the Ich, we have the unitary duplex; an irony, a paradox, yet that is morality of the one. This unique focus on the individual is typical of our culture, and it essentially deals with me getting mine; when I have got it, I may or may not become charitable and gather tax benefits thereby. An enigma of man in the world.
