To be a good human being is to have a kind of openness
to the world,an ability to trust uncertain things beyond
your own control, that can lead you to be shattered in very
extreme circumstances for which you were not to blame.
That says something very important about the condition
of the ethical life: that it is based on a trust
in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed;
it's based on being more like a plant than like a jewel,
something rather fragile, but whose very particular beauty
is inseparable from that fragility.
Martha Nussbaum
