Specifically, morality is what it is good for us to like.<BR/><BR/>So, we ought to like the truth and have an aversion to attempts to hide it. We ought to like fairness and be repulsed by unfairness. The formation of this 'Davis Committee" ought to hit us like a wretched stench.<BR/><BR/>A person of good moral character will, like all of us, do what he likes. The difference is, he likes the right things. He likes the things that benefit others. So, when he pursues his hobbies and interests, others are made better off.<BR/><BR/>This is as opposed to the villain who, in seeking his own happiness, does harm to others.Alonzo Fyfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687777216426347054noreply@blogger.com
