The new virtue in our society is not truth but tolerance. The only vice is intolerance of error. A popular philosophy of history will teach that the worlds problems stemmed from the fact that people thought they were right and that led to wars, persecutions, slavery, racism and chauvinism. There are anthropologists like Margaret Mead who exhort us to be liberated from our religious taboos and repressed puritanical guilt feelings. She wants us to go to the bazaar of cultures and find re-enforcement for anything our little heart would love to do.
Openness is more important than truth.
Mead would have us believe that the only vice that needs transforming is intolerance of error. Successful living is built on solid relationships grounded in truth. I wouldn't have a marriage today. Successful marriages are built on the solid foundation of truth. I only have eyes for Sonia.
