In the moral realm, there are two poles, with the great multitude of incarnations in between. What one might call low morality insists on the dogmatic adherence to a divine memorandum. Morality is fixed, constant and full of fixed, constant repercussions. The other end, high morality, attempts to eschew moralistic statements altogether. High moralists insist that there is no value structure other than the one one imposed by the self, natural consequences more often than not based on unrelated phenomena. In each case, and in each case in between, the high horse remains tall. The low moralists embrace their moralizing stance, and while their strict policy of ignorance is anathema, it has to be admired for the forthrightness with which they proclaim their righteousness. The high moralists pretend they have no morals, or rather that morals in the strict sense are nonexistent. Their intellectual penchant, while far more amenable to the senses, is fraught with the inconsistency of being dishonest in its personal assessment.
