Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"I once said to a friend that that most people seem to think that big moral issues are once-in-a-while things that crop up every now and again in a crisis, but it seemed to me that all of us, every day, are called upon to be superheros and saints, that daily life puts moral decisions before every one of us which demand our utmost effort. Every day we find ourselves confronting choices between what is easy and what is right, choices which require, for us to meet them as the people we wish we were, the moral fortitude we usually attribute to only superheros and saints. And if most people don't realize it, it's because they try to convince themselves those decisions aren't morally important. After all, moral challenges are generally ones concerning the fate of others, and convincing oneself that their outcomes aren't your business or problem isn't all that hard." -- siderea, 2006-11-30
