I think, actually, any morality system that rewards only the extremes is a flawed system.

Do we settle on a regional team because we can go to its ballpark and see its games on television? Or do we choose a team as our favorite because it has an especially appealing player, a Barry Bonds or an Ichiro?
I think those who have a terminal illness and are in great pain should have the right to choose to end their own life, and those that help them should be free from prosecution.
I’m not in a rush to do anything. And I wouldn’t say I pick and choose. When it comes to producers picking people for roles I don’t think it’s between me and Tom Cruise, do you know what I mean?
Instead of looking at life as a narrowing funnel, we can see it ever widening to choose the things we want to do, to take the wisdom we’ve learned and create something.
