A moral being is one who is capable of reflecting on his past actions and their motives - of approving of some and disapproving of others.
I published, privately, a collection of my serious poetry I had written over the years. I only published 50 copies, which I gave to friends, in a special deluxe edition. It was ridiculously expensive but I'm glad that I did it.
If I'm going to be out there, I want to be in the top 10 and really have a chance of winning a Grand Slam.
