Ceguera moral

Evil is not limited to war or to circumstances in which one acts under extreme pressure. Today it manifests itself more frequently in the daily insensitivity to the suffering of others, in the inability or refusal to understand them and in the casual deviation of the ethical gaze.In a life where the rhythms are dictated by ratings wars, cultural trivialization, and die-hard consumerism, we seldom have time to stop to consider important issues, and so we run the serious risk of losing our sensitivity to problems of others.This inquiry into the fate of our moral sensibilities will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the deeper changes that are silently shaping our lives.
