FWIW, the more I think of Williams' article, the more I'm reminded of this other bit of stellar morality from the Bard's pen:
I have sucked a baby, and I know how sweet it is to love the baby at my breast. But even as the baby was smiling up at me, I would have plucked my nipple out of its mouth and smashed its brains out against a wall if I had sworn to do that the same way you have sworn to do this." Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 7And that's for the more noble purpose of keeping an oath, not maintaining a life of hedonism and narcissism. What is it about our post-modern era that takes the horrors of human history that warped even the most noble ideas and repackages them for our own petty and selfish desires?
