Comments: Ethics from the Barrel of a Gun

A person with a gun in his hand is a moral actor.

So is a person without a gun in his hand.

It's not about the weapon and never was, it's about the person.

Something these mushwit fools worrying about being offended and their safe space being invaded better learn. The Universe doesn't care about the individual. They cannot grasp just how insignificant they are, we all are. A bit of dust passing through a candle's flame.

Exactly.

The great quote from Mad Men was Don Draper's line to the Beatniks at his girlfriend's place: "The universe is indifferent."

Raymond's 4th emphasis is, 'right choices are possible, and the ordinary judgement of ordinary (wo)men is sufficient to make them.'

So let us be ordinary at least, after evaluating our motives, means and rightfulness of thought.
And if we are mysterious dust motes of the universe, then as we pass through the candle's flame (h/t VW above) let us be some light to those in despair and darkness.
