Share & Save
Meaning
This reads as an argument that principles need a moral climate to survive. It suggests that leaders cannot be expected to defend values when the surrounding government treats everything as relative and nothing as firmly right or wrong. It lands in political debates, where the absence of shared standards makes conviction look weak or inconvenient.
