“The more a person becomes mature, the more he comes to recognize, and turn to a truly personal conviction, that his own individual good is joined inseparably with the good of other persons in ever-widening circles until his horizon of judgment finally takes in the entire human race as one and indivisible in interdependence, destiny, and happiness… Existentially this is a wisdom gained by experience and good living. Philosophically it is rooted in the very nature of the person as a self whose very self-hood is intrinsically constituted in relation to other selves.”
~ W. Norris Clarke, Conscience: Its Freedom and Limitations
