About This Quote

Humans have always wanted to 'improve' human beings; for the most part, this has been called morality. In the past, people who wanted to improve others didn't like to use the word 'morality.' It has a bad connotation these days. They preferred the term, 'humanity.' By making humanity better, they meant making human beings more obedient and less selfish.
