‘Morality is how I feel too, because in my heart, I could feel it. You could feel what’s right or wrong in your heart as well as your mind. Most of the time, I always felt, I feel it in my heart and it makes it easier for me to morally decide what’s right and wrong. Because if I feel about doing something, I’m going to feel it in my heart, and if it feels good, I’m going to do it.’
- from Chris Smith, Souls in Transition

Calvin (16th century): ... when we come to our own case,
we forget ‘values’
“The intellect is very rarely deceived in general [but] is illusory when it goes farther, that is, applies the principle to particular cases.

Calvin (16th century): ... when we come to our own case,
we forget ‘values’
“In reply to the general question, every man will affirm that murder is evil. But he who is plotting the death of an enemy contemplates murder as something good. The adulterer will condemn adultery in general, but will privately flatter himself in his own particular adultery.
