ABSTRACT
Conflict widens as well as deepens a man. Precisely in it and while standing in the midst of it a man becomes conscious of life's richness of content. The tendency, as a basic moral disposition, has fullness of experience as its value. The task, which it imposes, is the unification of diversities and of the antagonisms observable at any given time. The relationships among men permit of the same valuation synthesis. Every situation manifests germs of values, each one of which can be appraised after its own kind; neglected it can become stunted. Ethical actuality is richer than all human phantasy, than dream and fiction. To live apathetically from moment to moment amid the abundance, is nothing short of sin. The narrowness of a man's participating sense of value makes him poor. The pursuit of a higher value has its limit in the intrinsic value of the lower.
