Not bad... The last 30 or 40 have all been distractions but that might be a good thing to focus on going forward.

There is a division of people and they divide along the usual likes for certain concepts. For starters: conscience, morality, honorablility. 1) You can define morality as a code of rights and wrongs that have an eternal integrity about it. 2) Another definition of morality is that a system of values that can be derived as beneficial and consensual defines morality. There are of course other ways to catagorize morality but these to can be distinguished for the sake of argument. My position is that the first definition accommodates the second definition but if the second definition is considered primary it often does not accommodate the first. I think this is close to something solon and I could agree on. The argument erupts when the actions of moralizing, is seen as imposing the view of the number 1 definition on experience, since; moralizing imposes a view that the adherents to definition number two do not acknowledge.
