Why be good?

[Jenny A]

Yes, Huggy, there are no people who've never committed at least slight moral infractions even gauged by their own subjective standards.  So?  What is this great difference?  

If you mean we are all doomed to hell fire for such infractions, I'd say your sense of proportion is absurdly, even immorally out of balance.  Civilized people recognize the difference between gossip and murder.

You do realize that there are deaths caused simply by gossip? In fact there is a TV series being made about this subject.

So has accidentally turning the wrong way on a one way street.   That doesn't make turning the wrong way on a one way street akin to murder.  Gossip might in extreme cases lead to suicide, but that doesn't make it akin to murder either.  If you consider all moral infractions of equal weight, I think there's something seriously askew in your moral compass.  I'm glad you are not in charge of writing the criminal code as the results would be horrific.
