Reached for: Macrobiotics
“Somebody has to say it. I'm not going to sit in a room while that goes unchallenged.”
Commitment is expressed through causes and confrontations, with the moral question raised reliably and the personal one never raised at all. The arrangement came from parents who could not be trusted and who kept their principles in immaculate order regardless, which taught that a position is safe ground and a person is not. What it asks for is one conversation with no issue in it.
Antigone, who set the law she believed in above the city, the king and her own life, and had nothing left over for the man she was to marry. The form implies a task of letting one person weigh as much as the principle.
