Beermann Monologue from Moral

From Moral by Ludwig Thoma

male · philosophical · 51 sec

Do you realize what severe pangs of conscience I suffer? Last night as I pictured to myself all that is about to happen, all these family misfortunes, I asked myself this question: What really is morality? And... I could not find the answer. (STROEBEL: Although you are...) Although I am Chairman of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, yes, sir. Then I asked myself this: which is the more important: that we are moral, or that we seem moral? (STROEBEL: Have you found the answer?) I have. I have become fully convinced that it is far more important for the people to believe in our morality.
