Beermann Monologue from Moral

From Moral by Ludwig Thoma

male · philosophical · 1:01 min

Yes, we did. Just to be moral is something that I can accomplish in my room by myself, but that has no educational value. The important thing is to ally one's self publicly with moral issues. This has a beneficial effect on the family and state. (STROEBEL: I daresay that this side of the question has not occurred to me.) Just consider. Morality holds exactly the same position as religion. We must always create the impression that there is such a thing and we must make each other believe that each of us have it. Do you suppose for one moment that religion would last if the church dealt publicly with our sins? But she forgives them quietly. The State ought to be just as shrewd. (STROEBEL: Many a thing you say seems quite true.) It is true, you can depend upon it.
