Conclusion:

What we make out of ourselves with our choices is what we most of all, have control over and

therefore, we are the most of all answerable for.

If you are a utilitarian your character can be traded in for what is often the illusory project of

maximizing benefit.

Insofar as We suggest, the first thing we have to do is roll up our sleeves and get our hands

"dirty".
