Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
Measured indeed, and that is duly appreciated, Steve. A choice on your part to do that, and that is what I mean by life being made up of moral issues. Not a moral maze, torturing ourselves over whether all our actions are right and wrong, but making choices, and when we make choices much of the time we are choosing between what we see as right and wrong, whether we use those terms or not. Most of the time for most of us that's a relatively tiny part of what determines the choice, sometimes it can be a major part.

I would suggest that when we follow a story, in a book or a film or whatever, most of the time what we are interested in are the moral choices.
