It is a question like 'have you stopped beating your wife, yes or no'? 'Moral' is not applicable here. The killing of the firstborn was not a moral outrage, but a part of divine judgment, which is not always obvious for men.
John Chrysostom highlighted, if I'm not mistaken, that the Egyptians had time to repent and change, but refused to listen.

The most dangerous places, sometimes unfit for driving, were where GPS (and my stupidity) took me, but not paper maps.
Talking about excitement over technological progress.

He says something similarly remarkable in Wisdom of Insecurity: “Where do I begin and end in space? I have relations to the sun and air which are just as vital parts of my existence as my heart. The movement in which I am a pattern or convolution began incalculable ages before the (conventionally isolated) event called ‘birth’, and will continue long after the event called ‘death’.”
Finished season 3. High quality one.
The most common phrase is surprisingly “Je sais”. (“I know.”)
Weird, is it in the French culture? @nicolas_ruf
I always thought it was a rude phrase.
—Je t’aime.
—Je sais.
A living body is not a fixed thing but a flowing event, like a flame or a whirlpool: the shape alone is stable, for the substance is a stream of energy going in at one end and out at the other. We are particular and temporarily identifiable wiggles in a stream that enters us in the form of light, heat, air, water, milk, bread, fruit, beer, beef Stroganoff, caviar, and pâté de foie gras. It goes out as gas and excrement—and also as semen, babies, talk, politics, commerce, war, poetry, and music. And philosophy.
