215

Just as it sometimes happens in the realm of the stars that two suns determine the orbit of a planet, and in some cases suns of different colours cast their lights around a single planet, sometimes red light, sometimes green light, and then again lighting it both at once, flooding it with colours, in the same way we modern men, thanks to the complicated mechanics of our "starry heaven," are determined by different moralities; our actions change their lights into different colours. They are rarely unambiguous - and there are enough cases where we carry out actions with many colours.
