Is not “embarrassing” as subjective as “worth”?<br /><br />Do we say that right and wrong are dependent upon the motivations and that, therefore, no one can judge either party because we cannot ever be sure of their true motivations?<br /><br />From the first-person point-of-view, are you saying that the Actor would be wrong to have the Artifacts destroyed based on a lack of worth but right if based on embarrassment? Can the Observer not determine which of their choices is right or wrong without knowing the reason behind the Actor’s choice?Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733274876782876659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370268061829710124.post-9306067395867127352010-08-07T21:00:39.569-05:002010-08-07T21:00:39.569-05:00You may be assuming you know the Actor's reaso...You may be assuming you know the Actor's reasoning. Suppose that the Actor didn't want their works made public not because they weren't worth much, but because they were personally embarrassing. Would you not want them to have that dignity, even after they were deceased?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370268061829710124.post-28091522151986307762010-08-07T17:07:21.270-05:002010-08-07T17:07:21.270-05:00Both are selfish, both are right.

The Actor can handily triumph before her death because of her rights of property.rainswepthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165059567790555748noreply@blogger.com
