The Virtue Junkie

junkieshootingup.jpg

The virtue junkie, like all other junkies, has an unstable, flickering relationship with reality itself.
He experiences the reality that you’re not open to the emotional arguments, and he reacts the way you should’ve expected: He doesn’t. He just recites the same arguments he just got done reciting. He’s tying it off, slamming it into the main vein. Not really discussing anything at all. All the impulses of a wild animal, with none of the comprehension of real objects and real events that all wild animals must acquire and sustain, in order to survive. The worst of both worlds. -- Morgan Freeberg: The Vampire Problem
