| | To be a adroit benign being is to be enduring a philanthropic of openness to the world, an ability to trust aleatory things beyond your own pilot, that can front you to be shattered in hugely exceptional circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very important about the fettle of the ethical passion: that it is based on a trust in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a spy than like a jewel, something rather feeble, but whose extremely special attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
