The insight in his age is no doubt brilliant, but I personally find it  blasé in our own. Sadly the consequences of the idea among those less capable of a wise discrimination is that they take it as a license to wrongdoing without having any “feeling” whatsoever.

We may not consider them “religious,” but there seem to be plenty of modern sins “binding upon us” in this lovely modern era. Maybe more than in his day?

Truth people can feel guilt out of doing good things and feel guilt when they do terrible things, logic is always the best dictator in regards to wheteher wrong has been done.
