    so you don’t just change your beliefs in response to your wants

    You do that anyway all the time. It’s just that crappy people want to believe in what you do.

      You do it all the time unless you have a concrete root to keep you accountable. You can’t get away with “oh, a little stealing’s not a big deal” if you’re committed to a written moral code that says any stealing is wrong.
