An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortab

Summary

This quote suggests that English people tend to confuse their personal discomfort with moral conduct. It implies that an Englishman would prioritize conforming to societal norms or remaining within their comfort zone rather than truly embodying moral values or acting ethically. In other words, they may mistake their own uneasiness or avoidance of certain situations as a sign of moral superiority, while failing to genuinely engage in actions that align with true moral standards.
