Summary

This quote suggests that some individuals exhibit a sense of virtue only by critiquing and pointing out the flaws and faults in others. Their self-righteousness derives solely from their ability to condemn the vices they perceive in others, rather than embodying virtuous qualities themselves. Instead of focusing on personal growth and self-improvement, these people seek validation by highlighting the shortcomings of others, which may indicate a lack of true virtue within themselves.

When a man touches a woman's body, he is not just touching her body. It goes MUCH DEEPER than that for a woman. He is touching parts of her soul-parts as diverse as how she feels about being a grandmother some day, to what is her favorite ice cream, to how much she loves her pet, and to her opinion of how the current President is governing. The man wants a sexual encounter and love is far from his mind; she desires permanence, commitment, safety, and security.
