“The joyful sense of freedom-that full, inalienable freedom inherent in man, of which he had first had a consciousness at the first halting place outside Moscow…this inner freedom, independent as it was of all external circumstances, was now as it were decked out in a luxury, a super fluidity of external freedom. He was alone in a strange town without acquaintances…he had all he wanted. “

“And they attack Anna. What for? Am I any better? I have, anyway, a husband I love—not as I would like to love him, still I do love him, while Anna never loved hers. How is she to blame? She wants to live. God has put that in our hearts. Very likely I should have done the same.”
- Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina, Book 6, Ch. 16

Martin Heidegger
A depiction of the Donner party.
They were traveling west and got lost in the Sierra Nevada mountains and had to resort to cannibalism to survive while they waited for their last ditch effort, the forlorn hope, to return.
Were they evil? Is cannibalism immoral? What is the difference between eating an animal or a bigger animal with a frontal lobe?
Who determines what is moral? God? Your parents? The government? You?
Is this the way you praise God?
Is this moral?
Is this the only moral way?
Is this immoral?
Is morality relative…?
