alightforrevelation:
Some of the letters I have had show that a good many people find it difficult to understand just what this Law of Human Nature, or Moral Law, or Rule of Decent Behaviour is.
For example, some people wrote to me saying, “Isn’t what you call the Moral Law simply our herd instinct and hasn’t it…
