Summary

This quote highlights the importance of ideology in guiding ethical decision-making. It suggests that without a solid set of beliefs or principles, individuals may resort to self-interest and greed when making choices on a case-by-case basis. Ideology provides a framework for considering the broader consequences and impacts of one's actions, promoting fairness and consideration for others. Without such a moral compass, society may descend into selfishness and unchecked self-serving behavior.
