Summary

This quote suggests that the presence of outrage is an essential aspect of maintaining a civilized society. It implies that when a society becomes indifferent or apathetic towards wrongdoing or injustices, it loses its moral compass and its ability to uphold civility. Outrage serves as a driving force towards positive change and ensures that individuals remain engaged and vigilant in protecting societal values and principles. Without outrage, a society risks becoming complacent and unable to address critical issues, ultimately compromising its civility and progress.

So in all these little ways we spin a web, a cocoon, around

So in all these little ways we spin a web, a cocoon, around ourselves. The cocoon becomes nice and snug and comfortable because it is very familiar. We know every little corner of our life; we can even write poetry about it. We may also have ideas about the great mystery which religions speak of, which gives our cocoon an especial sense of security: we can worship the great mystery outside of it and feel good about that. The cocoon is safe, bounded, claustrophobic, and a little stale. We settle into it and live our lives.
