About This Quote

The two options in life are right and wrong, good and bad, fair and unfair, and so forth. These words are the basis of morality, and they allow us to distinguish between what it means to be moral or unethical. Right and wrong imply that there is a definite distinction between the two choices, while good and bad imply that one is better than the other. As such, all of these words imply that there is a choice between them.
