Society doesn't have values. People have values.

Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is Good.

The problem, of course, was that people did not seem to understand the difference between right and wrong. They needed to be reminded about this, because if you left it to them to work out for themselves, they would never bother. They would just find out what was best for them, and then they would call that the right thing. That's how most people thought.

All men who have ideals . . . live by some kind of faith, by committing themselves to some kind of loyalty which is not universally recognized as the common property of all thinking men. They must have something-something outside themselves, to make them feel life is worth living, that good rather than evil is the explanation of the world.

The problem is that it has become politically awkward to draw attention to absolutes of bad and good.

Therefore if you say people are bad, you are bad.
